Neil Fligstein is the Class of 1939 Chancellor’s Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of California. He has made research contributions to the fields of economic sociology, organizational theory, political sociology and social stratification. He is the author of eight books including The Transformation of Corporate Control (Harvard University Press, 1993), The Architecture of Markets(Princeton University Press 2001), Euroclash (Oxford University Press, 2008), A Theory of Fields (with Doug McAdam, Oxford University Press, 2012), and The Banks Did It (Harvard University Press, 2021). He is currently working on a project trying to understand corporate and governmental responses to climate change.
Professor Jackson’s research examines how corporate governance is influenced by diverse organizational and institutional contexts. His research utilizes cross-national comparison to better understand the regulatory and other societal influences on the corporation, particularly using the cases of Germany, Japan, the UK and USA. His research aims to link disparate fields of scholarship, including institutional theory, organizational analysis, economic sociology, and comparative political economy. Particular empirical interests have been the relationship of corporate governance and human resource management, and issues around corporate social responsibility and labor standards. His current projects seek to apply methods of fuzzy set and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to understanding.
Gregory Jackson’s research has been published widely in leading business journals. A number of his projects on public policy have been sponsored by the Department of Trade and Industry (UK), the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (Japan), the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, and the Hans-Boeckler Foundation. His research also is cited by The Economist, Financial Times, and BBC radio. He is an editor of British Journal of Industrial Relations and serves as Chief Editor of Socio-Economic Review since 2012.
Angela Knox is an Associate Professor of Work and Organisational Studies at the University of Sydney Business School. Her research interests focus on job quality, precarious work and employment regulation and she has a particular interest in the tourism/hospitality industry. She has published widely including within the International Journal of Human Resource Management, Human Resource Management Journal, Work, Employment and Society, Gender, Work and Organisation and Journal of Industrial Relations. With Professor Warhurst, she co-founded the Job Quality Research Group at the University of Sydney Business School and co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Industrial Relations on job quality. Angela seeks to improve the quality of jobs in Australia through policy and research.
Virág Molnár holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University and is currently a Professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. Before moving to Amsterdam, she was Associate Professor of Sociology at the New School for Social Research in New York. Her research explores the intersections of culture, politics, and social change in Eastern Europe, with special focus on urban culture, the built environment, and material culture. She has written about architecture and state formation in socialist and postsocialist Eastern Europe, the post-1989 reconstruction of Berlin, and the new housing landscape of postsocialist cities. Current projects include a comparative study of emerging markets for street art in New York, Berlin and Budapest; the politics of urban rodent control; and the cultural production of nationalist populism in contemporary Hungary. Her book Building the State: Architecture, Politics, and State Formation in Postwar Central Europe (Routledge, 2013) received the Mary Douglas Prize from the American Sociological Association. She has been a visiting fellow at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University, the Humboldt Universität in Berlin, the American Academy in Berlin, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Marc Schneiberg, the John C. Pock Professor of Sociology at Reed College, is an economic and organizational sociologist who research focuses mainly on the rise, contemporary fates, and economic consequences of organizational diversity and alternatives to giant, shareholder corporations within American capitalism. He has studied the evolution of cooperative and other alternative enterprise systems in the US, including electrical and agricultural cooperatives, insurance mutuals, community banks, and credit unions. He has also addressed how such systems can help reshape markets, subject corporations to countervailing forces, and foster both resilience and shared prosperities in local economies. With National Science Foundation support, he is currently studying organizational variety within American banking and how it combined with state policy to channel flows of loans away from—and in to—small business in poor and minority communities during the pandemic. Schneiberg also has long standing interests in institutions and their relationships with social movements, and in economic governance, including association, regulation and self-regulation in American manufacturing and finance. He has been honored to serve in various capacities in the American Sociological Association, the NSF and the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics. His work can be accessed on his webpage.
