Research Abstract
Nina Bandelj is Chancellor's Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine. She completed her international baccalaureate in Ljubljana, Slovenia, her B.A. (summa cum laude) at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, and her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Sociology at Princeton University. Her doctoral dissertation was awarded the Martin Seymour Lipset Award from the Society for Comparative Research.

Bandelj began her career as Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine in 2003, and was promoted to Full Professor in 2014. She currently serves as Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Development and as Co-Director of the Center for Organizational Research at UCI. She was a facilitator in the Women’s Development Initiative supported by the UC Office of the President. She served as Acting Associate Dean for Graduate Affairs and Research in the School of Social Sciences and as Equity Advisor to the Dean of Social Sciences. Bandelj is past Chair of the Economic Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association (ASA), past Co-Chair of the RC09 of the International Sociological Association, and past Council-at-large member of the ASA. She was one of the editors of Socio-Economic Review, Treasurer of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics, and 2021-22 Vice President of the ASA. She is President-Elect of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics for 2023-24.

Professor Bandelj’s research on economy and society spans attention to micro-level economic interactions and macro-economic transformations. Her conceptual and empirical contributions advance two lines of inquiry: 1) on the role of relational work, culture and emotions in economic processes and 2) on structures and inequality consequences of economic transformations, including postsocialism, globalization and financialization.

Bandelj’s articles have been published in top discipline and specialty journals such as the American Sociological Review, Social Forces, Theory and Society, and Socio-Economic Review. Her books include From Communists to Foreign Capitalists: The Social Foundations of Foreign Direct Investment in Postsocialist Europe (2008), Economy and State: A Sociological Perspective (2010, with E. Sowers), Economic Sociology of Work (2009), The Cultural Wealth of Nations (2011, with F. Wherry), Socialism Vanquished, Socialism Challenged: Eastern Europe and China, 1989-2009 (2012, with D. Solinger) and Money Talks: Explaining How Money Really Works (2017, with F. Wherry and V. Zelizer).

Bandelj’s research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, American Council of Learned Societies, the University of California, and the Slovenian Research Agency. She was awarded fellowships from the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne, Germany, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. Professor Bandelj is an elected member of the Sociological Research Association honorary society, and a recipient of the UCI Senate Award for Distinguished Mid-Career Service, Dynamic Womxn of UCI Academic Achievement Award and Carol Connor Equity Advisor Impact Award.

In addition to her scholarship, Bandelj has a deep commitment to service and inclusive excellence. She has served as equity advisor and acting associate dean for research and graduate affairs in the School of Social Sciences, and as facilitator in Women’s Initiative supported by the University of California, Office of the President. In her role as UCI’s inaugural associate vice provost for faculty development, she designs and oversees programs, and consults on policies in support of faculty advancement, well-being, and equity.
