New Publication: "Ungleichheit, Individualisierung, Lebenslauf"

To honor Peter A. Berger, who passed away in 2018, Prof. Dr. Rasmus Hoffmann, Dr. André Knabe, and Dr. Christian Schmitt have published an anthology entitled Ungleichheit, Individualisierung, Lebenslauf. Zur Aktualität Peter A. Bergers, which presents the history of his impact and the significance of his sociological work today. Numerous colleagues reflect on the conclusions they have drawn from Peter A. Berger's work and contribute new research findings.

Among them is Prof. Dr. Mona Motakef, and together with Prof. Dr. Christine Wimbauer, in a contribution entitled Prekäre Arbeit, prekäre Anerkennung, prekäre Lebensverhältnisse – Zur erweiterten Analyse vergeschlechtlichter Ungleichheiten in pandemischen Zeiten, she discusses the significance of recognition for inequality and precarity research while focusing on implications of the COVID19 pandemic for politics of deprecarization.

The book serves both to acquaint readers with Peter A. Berger's sociology and to situate his work within the sociology of social inequality. It traces Berger's impact, the significance of his work for German social structural analysis, and the resulting relevance for current and future research in the discipline.
