Field of Education and the Transnational Cleavage

Read Abstract

Held as part of our House Series, this year's Stein Rokkan Lecture focuses on the relationship between the field of education and voter opinion, using evidence from across Europe and the United States. 

The lecture

Education is perhaps the most generally used independent variable for explaining public opinion and vote choice on the transnational cleavage. Yet the extent to which a person is educated, which is how we usually conceive of education in surveys, is just one way in which education may affect political beliefs and behaviour.

Our speaker Liesbet Hooghe suggests that the substantive field of education has an independent role to play over and above the level to which a person is educated. In the lecture, she uses cross-national evidence and panel data for a range of European countries alongside the United States to build her claim.

Free and open to all

Our renowned Stein Rokkan Lecture is typically held annually as part of the Joint Sessions of Workshops. For the third year running, we were thrilled to be opening the lecture to the broader ECPR community, as part of our House Series.
