How to find an appropriate clustering for mixed‐type variables with application to socio‐economic stratification (2013, background): “The main contention is whether the stratification structure is composed of a few big-classes or many micro-classes (Grusky, 2005; Weeden and Grusky, 2005; Weeden et al., 2007).”
The Class Pay Gap in Higher Professional and Managerial Occupations (2016, background): “In particular, individual occupations with distinct histories, work and market situations, entry requirements, and recruitment structures are problematically classified together (Weeden and Grusky 2005).”
How social class shapes thoughts and actions in organizations (2011, background): “…the interests, values, and patterns of social interaction of individuals via job training, exposure to co-workers who have homogeneous worldviews, and the setting of common goals that must be achieved to succeed in particular organizational contexts (Bourdieu, 1986; Weeden & Grusky, 2005).”
The Three Worlds of Inequality1 (2012, background): “The same conclusion holds across a spate of life chances, attitudes, behaviors, lifestyles, and consumption practices (e.g., Weeden and Grusky 2005b; Di Carlo 2007; Liu 2008; Jonsson et al. 2009).4 This work does not, however, speak to questions of trend.”
Social Status and Newspaper Readership1 (2007, methodology): “In the case of the “microclasses” approach currently being developed by Grusky and his associates (Grusky and Sorensen 1998; Grusky and Weeden 2001; Weeden and Grusky 2005 ), it remains to be seen in exactly what ways the specific occupational groupings that are distinguished will be treated as cap”
Perils and Promises: Middle-Class Parental Involvement in Urban Schools (2009, background): “Class definitions are extremely complicated and are the subject of a large body of sociological research (e.g., Lareau & Conley, 2008; Weeden & Grusky, 2005; Wright, 2005).”
Parental education, class and income over early life course and children's achievement (2016, background): “In addition to its role as a link between education and income, class may be seen as a proxy for social standing and social prestige, as well as an indicator for both cultural and social capital (i.e. Weeden & Grusky, 2005).”
