What is Competition?
Discussant: Rishi Arora, Sociology, University of Chicago
*Refreshments will be served.*
Description: The term competition is used liberally to designate an extensive number of arrangements across various domains of activity (such as competitions within arts, sports, culture and science). Competition is the cornerstone of economic thought, frequently regarded as coextensive with the notion of market. Dr. Preda explores the extent to which competition can be understood as a sociological concept and how competition relates to other concepts such as institutions, action and status.
