Mitchell McIvor

Mitchell McIvor serves as an Assistant Professor in the Teaching Stream at the University of Toronto, based at 700 University Avenue, 17th floor in downtown Toronto (St. George campus). His academic appointment falls within the social sciences division, focusing on sociological research and pedagogy.

His research examines critical intersections of social structures through four primary lenses:

• Sociology of Culture: Investigating cultural production, consumption, and symbolic systems
• Work: Analyzing labor markets, occupational dynamics, and employment relations
• Stratification: Studying social hierarchies, inequality, and mobility mechanisms
• Markets: Exploring economic institutions, market societies, and commodification processes

These interconnected domains reflect his commitment to understanding how cultural, economic, and institutional forces shape contemporary social life. McIvor's teaching-stream position emphasizes curriculum development and innovative pedagogical approaches within sociology education.
