Anja Weiß (Dr. phil., Humboldt University Berlin) is Professor for Sociology with a focus on macrosociology and transnational processes at the Institute for Sociology at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Her theoretical interests in global and transnational inequalities translate into comparative empirical studies on highly skilled migrants, the glocalization of professional knowledge, (institutional) racism and legal exclusion, ethnic conflict and anti-racism, and qualitative research design. Her major publications include a country comparative study on high skilled migrants’ trajectories into the labor markets in Germany, Turkey and Canada which also focuses on refugees (with Nohl, Schittenhelm and Schmidtke: Work in Transition, Toronto UP 2014) and a sociological perspective on global inequalities (Soziologie Globaler Ungleichheiten, Suhrkamp 2017, English article: "The transnationalization of social inequality”, Current Sociology 53(4)) as well as a Bourdieuan theorization of racism (German book and: "The racism of globalization" Macedo/ Gounari (eds.). The globalization of racism. Boulder, CL; 2006). Recent articles are on transnationally comparative research designs in migration research and the ways in which professional knowledge in the medical field is both context-bound and universal.
