Professor Kristian Bernt Karlson elected Fellow of the European Academy of Sociology
Professor Kristian Bernt Karlson from the Department of Sociology has been elected Fellow of the European Academy of Sociology (EAS), a distinguished fellowship of scholars dedicated to promoting rigorous methodological and theoretical standards in sociology across Europe.
Election to the Academy is by nomination and vote of existing fellows, and Karlson’s appointment recognizes his significant contributions to research on intergenerational mobility, educational inequality, and quantitative methods. He is internationally known for developing the “Karlson–Holm–Breen” method for decomposing effects in nonlinear probability models and has published in leading journals such as American Journal of Sociology, Sociological Methodology, and Social Forces.
In 2022, he received the Raymond Boudon Award for Early Career Achievement, presented by the European Academy of Sociology.
“It is a great honour to join a community of scholars who have shaped European sociology at the highest level. I look forward to contributing to the work of the Academy and to strengthening research standards and scholarly dialogue across borders,” says Kristian Bernt Karlson.
Karlson will also participate in the Academy’s next Annual Meeting in Paris in November 2026 as a newly elected Fellow.
