The Making of Meritocratic Status Orders
This article surveys a growing body of work examining the concrete consequences of implementing meritocracy in social life. To date, this work remains compartmentalized into the separate subfields of cultural sociology, economic sociology, organizational science, and the sociology of education and stratification. We bring these literatures together by arguing that they describe the consequences of constructing merit-based status orders, or merit …
Status inequality and status hierarchies
Le statut - la valeur accordée aux individus par autrui - est une dimension fondamentale de la stratification sociale. Il existe cependant une ambiguïté quant à ce que les sociologues entendent par différences de statut : s'agit-il de différences dans la quantité globale d'estime que les individus reçoivent d'autrui, ou dans la manière dont ils répartissent leur estime entre divers autres ? À partir de cette distinction, cet article propose d'org…
Polyoccupationalism: Expertise Stretch and Status Stretch in the Postindustrial Era
Past research has posited that occupations are distinct and exclusive communities of workers and used single-entry questions in surveys to measure occupational self-identification. Our study challenges that view by reporting the existence of polyoccupationalism, or workers’ simultaneous identification with multiple occupations. We predict this phenomenon co-occurs with postindustrial forms of work organization and that its expression varies with …
The Architecture of Status Hierarchies: Variations in Structure and Why They Matter for Inequality
We argue that the properties of status hierarchies, independent of the positions actors occupy within them, have important effects on the degree of inequality in material rewards generated by status processes. We first discuss how a focus on status hierarchies differs from, complements, and extends the traditional focus on individual-level status positions. Drawing on a range of empirical case studies, we then identify three architectural feature…
Deliberating Inequality: A Blueprint for Studying the Social Formation of Beliefs about Economic Inequality
In most contemporary societies, people underestimate the extent of economic inequality, resulting in lower support for taxation and redistribution than might be expressed by better informed citizens. We still know little, however, about how understandings of inequality arise, and therefore about where perceptions and misperceptions of it might come from. This methodological article takes one step toward filling this gap by developing a research d…

Consecration as a Population-Level Phenomenon
We tend to think of consecration as something happening to individuals: We say that someone has been consecrated when they have been declared a saint, inducted into a hall of fame, or presented with a lifetime achievement award. The present article explores the analytical payoffs of looking at consecration as a population-level phenomenon, that is, as the delineation of clear-cut divides between the chosen and the rest in a population of candidat…
How Cultural Capital Emerged in Gilded Age America: Musical Purification and Cross-Class Inclusion at the New York Philharmonic
This article uses a new database of subscribers to the New York Philharmonic to explore how high culture became a form of socially valuable capital in late-19th-century America. The authors find support for the classic account of high culture’s purification and exclusiveness, showing how over the long Gilded Age the social elite of New York attended the Philharmonic both increasingly and in more socially patterned ways. Yet they also find that th…
