Matters of Culture: The Connective Power of Meaning Making for Understanding Cities, Inequality, and the Nighttime Economy 

Culture as a concept denotes many shades of meaning, and different visions of culture express themselves differently across subfields of sociology. Inspired by enduring, influential insights from the cultural turn, Prof. Ghaziani will show the connective power of culture in three contexts: how culture informs debates about neighborhood change; the cultural foundations of inequality that stems from sexual orientation; and the relationship between culture and the nighttime economy. After detailing these specific synergies, Prof. Ghaziani will offer a more general, programmatic vision for the power of culture in constructing explanatory narratives.
