Project description

This project aims to extend our understanding of inequality in cultural participation by focusing on gender differences in highbrow and omnivorous cultural consumption using a macro-sociological, longitudinal and cross-national comparative perspective. The association between the (changing) structural position of women in society and the (changing) gender gap in cultural participation is studied.
