The latest issue of “economic sociology. perspectives and conversations” turns its attention to the war in #Ukraine and the impact on the region and beyond. It sheds light on #EconomicSociology from a region at a time of war. But it also aims to highlight the more global consequences of the armed conflict and, at the same time, contribute to the debate on the importance of what can be called an economic sociology of war. https://econsoc.mpifg.de

2. Money used for renovation is intimately linked to relationships, as we would expect from #EconomicSociology. Lots of examples of use of #inheritance to make home improvements, and a reluctance to get into #debt for home improvements - debt is the wrong type of money.

@d2ns making reviews an economic capital venture, instead of a cultural capital one, transfers more incentive (and burden) onto poorer field experts. For example: End stage PhD students would shoulder far more reviewing burdens because they're more economically precarious than tenured full professors.

Attaching financial incentives changes the meaning of the thing. Lots of great #economicsociology research in this

Also, being poorer doesn't mean you can't utilize cultural capital.

@d2ns @dsquintana

But there are more types of capital than just economic. This gets into #economicsociology literature and #Bourdieu and #Zelizer. The economic utility of doing a review would differ based on external factors like how wealthy the reviewer is, but reviewing as cultural capital (volunteer work) is much more egalitarian. You can only follow new research by reading it. You can best shape the field, by critiquing new lit through blind review which assumes everyones contribution is =
