Andrea Voyer

Andrea Voyer is a Professor of Sociology at Stockholm University, focusing on social norms, boundaries, and their role in shaping social inequality, particularly in the context of immigrant integration, class disparities, and ethnic inequality. She employs both qualitative and computational methods, including large-scale text analysis and cultural theory, to explore these themes.

Her research has received funding from Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, the Swedish Research Council, the National Science Foundation (USA), and the Russell Sage Foundation. Voyer serves as a program coordinator for master's programs in sociology and applied social research, and leads the department's research groups in qualitative methods, computational sociology, and cultural sociology. She is also an editorial board member for Sociological Theory and American Journal of Cultural Sociology, and contributes to public discourse on immigration, segregation, and social norms.

Her recent publications highlight the use of computational techniques to analyze immigrant incorporation through shifts in mainstream discourse, the cultural processes of inequality during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the evolving role of class distinction-making in etiquette literature. These works bridge cultural theory with empirical analysis, offering actionable insights for addressing social inequality.
