Daniel Lobo, a sociology Ph.D. candidate at UC Berkeley who studies race, political economy, and organizational inequality, and Ryan Brutger, assistant professor of political science at UC Berkeley, announced in September that their paper, “Fairness According to Whom?: Divergent Perceptions of Fairness Among White and Black Americans and Its Effect on Trade Attitudes,” has been conditionally accepted by American Political Science Review.
Lobo and Brutger’s collaboration began when Lobo enrolled in Brutger’s political science graduate course. Their joint effort resulted in this article, which the pair presented at a Designated Emphasis (DE) in Political Economy seminar in 2023.
The DE facilitates graduate student participation in vital discussions outside their home disciplines, enhancing dialogues and enabling research at the cutting edge of scholarship. BESI supports the DE through stipends and grants for research and conferences for students who participate in the program.
