Trond Petersen

BIDS Faculty Affiliate
Social Sciences, Haas School of Business, Sociology, UC Berkeley
Associate Dean, Division of Social Sciences, Berkeley Haas School of Business Professor, Sociology, UC Berkeley

Trond K. Petersen's research interests include social inequality and quantitative methods. He has investigated the role of employer discrimination in creating inequality in wages, hiring, and promotions between men and women, as well as the role of family adaptations in this. He draws on large-scale quantitative data from the U.S. and Scandinavia, including quantitative data on large firms.

Alison E. Post

BIDS Faculty Affiliate
Political Science, Global Metropolitan Studies, UC Berkeley
Associate Professor, Political Science and Global Metropolitan Studies, UC Berkeley

Alison E. Post's research lies at the intersection of comparative urban politics and comparative political economy, with regional emphases on Latin America and South Asia. It examines several related themes: regulation and business-government relations, decentralization, and the politics of urban policy more broadly.
