Mike Savage is Martin White Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics and codirector of the LSE's International Inequalities Institute. His previous positions include at the University of Manchester and York, and he has held visiting positions at Chapel Hill, Bergen (Norway), and Sciences-Po (Paris). He has written extensively about social class inequalities, especially their cultural dimensions. His collaborative book Culture, Class, Distinction (Routledge, 2009; with Tony Bennett, Elizabeth Silva, Alan Warde, Modesto Gayo-Cal, and David Wright) reported the largest systematic study of cultural divisions ever conducted in the UK. His work with the BBC on the Great British Class Survey is the most popular work of digital sociology ever conducted, with over 9 million hits on the interactive “class calculator.” His recent coauthored book, Social Class in the 21st Century (Pelican, 2015), also gathered much public interest in the UK.
