donderdag 23 november Knowledge, Power and Diversity

Vanaf 20 uur in Oude Lutherse Kerk Singel 411, Amsterdam

To celebrate Professor of Sociology at Harvard University Michèle Lamont receiving the Erasmus Prize, ‘Knowledge, Power and Diversity’ will be the theme of a public programme with Michèle Lamont, Philomena Essed and Jan Willem Duyvendak.

Michèle Lamont has devoted her academic career to investigating how cultural conditions shape inequality and social exclusion, and how stigmatized groups find ways to preserve their dignity and self-worth. How do class and ethnicity determine the way people view reality? And how does the wellbeing of minorities influence the wellbeing of the wider society?

Through ground-breaking international comparative research, Lamont has shown that disadvantaged groups can achieve new forms of self-esteem and respect. What structures can create more resilient societies? And in what ways do we benefit from diversity - both in society and in academia? These questions will be at the forefront of the conversation during this public programme, between Lamont herself, Philomena Essed and Jan Willem Duyvendak.
