Hi! I'm a sociologist at Boston University and a Veni fellow at Erasmus University Rotterdam. My research contends with why the growing economic gap has left many of us unconcerned. I draw on a combination of longitudinal data analysis, survey experiments, qualitative field work, and computational methods to document the transformation of the social landscape and its consequences for how people understand, explain and feel about inequality and meritocracy. www.jonathanmijs.com #introduction
