138: Relational Work Perspective -- Zelizer & Bandelj (Part 2)
21-07-2026 | 39 Min.
In Part 2, we further contrast the relational work perspective of Zelizer and Bandelj with the dominant embeddedness perspective promoted by Granovetter and other early economic sociologists a few decades ago. The embeddedness perspective remains “embedded” in the field despite the relational work perspective providing more robust and interesting scholarly research. Are we seeing the emergence of a new paradigm shift as described in our episode on Thomas Kuhn’s scientific revolutions?
138: Relational Work Perspective -- Zelizer & Bandelj (Part 1)
14-07-2026 | 46 Min.
This month we examine three pieces from the relational work perspective in economic sociology, one by Viviana Zelizer and two by her former student Nina Bandelj. The relational work perspective examines how ordinary economic transactions and social relationships work together to establish meaning behind each movement of money. Initially describing decisions in household budgets and other microeconomic moves, this perspective is now finding traction in the study of whole organizations and its programming and budgeting actions.

07-07-2026 | 4 Min.
Coming soon! We will examine a contemporary stream in economic sociology, the relational work perspective, championed by Viviana Zelizer and furthered by some of her students such as Nina Bandelj and others. How does this perspective compare with the more economics-driven models of before, and why is the relational work perspective gaining traction? Tune in and find out.
137: Science as a Vocation -- Max Weber (Part 2)
09-06-2026 | 44 Min.
In Part 2, we bring Max Weber’s speech about Science as a Vocation to the present day and show that many of the same themes and concerns Weber express are still relevant. Modern technologies such as artificial intelligence may have changed academia in compelling ways, but the worthiness of scientific pursuit remains a valid concern.
E137: Science as a Vocation -- Max Weber (Part 1)
02-06-2026 | 48 Min.
We return once more to Max Weber and look at one of his most important and noteworthy speeches, “Science as a Vocation.” The speech includes a number of major themes such as what is the worth of science, what are the roles of junior academics as they establish themselves as scientists, and what constitutes proper teaching. Controversial in its day, but required reading for many graduate programs today.
