Celso M. Villegas

Celso M. Villegas is Associate Professor of Sociology at Kenyon College, Ohio USA. A comparative-historical sociologist by training, his research focuses on the middle class, civil society, and democracy in the Philippines and Latin America. In bringing a focus on social class and class cultures to civil sphere theory, he hopes to develop new ways in which cultural sociology can engage with questions of inequality and political power.
