MARCOS ANCELOVICI
Assistant Professor of Sociology at McGill University, in Montreal, Canada.
Co-organizer of the McGill Political Sociology Workshop and member of the Groupe de recherche sur les institutions et les mouvements sociaux (GRIMS), the McGill Institute for the Study of International Development (ISID), and the McGill-UdeM European Union Center of Excellence (EUCE).
I hold a PhD in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and my doctoral thesis recently won the 2008 Georges Lavau Dissertation Award of the American Political Science Association (APSA) for the best dissertation on French politics defended between 2005 and 2007.
My research focuses on social movements, labor politics, the political sociology of globalization, and the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu. I have studied extensively the global justice movement and labor responses to globalization in France. I’m currently completing a research project on the origins and dynamics of antisweatshop campaigns in France and beginning a new one on the ongoing wave of anti-austerity protests and occupations in Canada, France, and Spain.
In parallel, I’m attempting to develop a Bourdieusian sociology of contentious politics that reformulates the political process model elaborated by Tilly, McAdam, and Tarrow.
