Prof. Joel Stillerman receives a Fulbright Scholar award
Joel Stillerman, professor of sociology and faculty-in-residence in Honors, received a Fulbright Scholar award and plans to spend the upcoming fall semester at the Universidad Central de Chile, where he will conduct research and co-teach a doctoral class on economic sociology.
The research he conducts in Chile will build on his 2023 book, "Identity Investments: Middle-Class Responses to Precarious Privilege in Neoliberal Chile."
Stillerman said Chile has experienced growth from the political right since he finished research on that book. In 2022 and 2023, voters in Chile rejected two proposed draft constitutions, which Stillerman said poses questions about the middle class's role in recent political volatility.
