Bio

Anders Vassenden is Professor of Sociology at the University of Stavanger, Norway, and holds a doctorate from the University of Oslo. His research interests include cultural sociology, social class, ethnic relations, ethno-racial stigmatization, national identities, qualitative methods, child welfare, and housing studies. His research on these topics is inspired by microsociological theory, particularly the work of Erving Goffman.

At UiS, Vassenden teaches cultural sociology (BA) and qualitative methods (PHD). He is currently the program coordinator for the sociology program, and is head of the researcher group called The Interactionist Cultural Sociology Group.
