About this Event
Rogers Brubaker is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at UCLA, where he holds the UCLA Foundation Chair. He has written widely on social theory, citizenship, nationalism, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, populism, and digital hyperconnectivity. His recent books include Grounds for Difference, Trans: Gender and Race in an Age of Unsettled Identities, and, most recently, Hyperconnectivity and Its Discontents, which treats digital hyperconnectivity as a “total social fact” and addresses transformations of the self, social interaction, culture, economics, and politics.
Brubaker has taught at UCLA since 1991 and was previously a Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows of Harvard University. He has been awarded a MacArthur Fellowship, a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation, and fellowships from the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and the Wissenschaftskolleg of Berlin. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2009.
