Call for Papers: Gender Journal | Social Mobility and Gender
Social mobility has been a central promise of Western meritocracies, especially since the expansion of education from the 1960s onwards. In the 21st century, the uncertainty and precariousness of educational and employment constellations are increasing, as is the fear of social decline.
Experiences of social immobility and disadvantage are manifold, they show interferences and intersections of various categories of difference and hierarchization, but also the relevance of individualized strategies and time patterns.
The journal is looking for empirical and/or theoretical contributions to the debate from a broad range of inter-sectional gender and queer research on expectations of, experiences with and disappointments in social mobility.
