In our new paper ๐ in BJS, @madsjaeger.bsky.social and I ask: can the cultural things you enjoy โ going to museums, concerts, or the theater โ actually help you get ahead in life?
Using three generations of Danish data, we show the answer is yes.
๐ Happy to share that Iโve been awarded a Vidi grant by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) for my new project:
SHINE: SHaping unequal futures through Inherited Networks
Stay tuned for two upcoming (PhD & Postdoc) positions.

Even in Denmark, cultural tastes are socially stratified. With some quite cool library data we find strong gradients by education and wealth - important as wealth is rarely studied in cultural stratification research
