Academic career

She received her undergraduate degree from Wesleyan University in 1975 where she majored in Economics and Philosophy[3]. [4] and her Ph.D in economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1982. She taught at Harvard University for 17 years, in the Department of Economics and the Committee on Degrees in Women's Studies.{{[5]|date=April 2015}} In 2014-15, she was the Matina S. Horner Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard.[6]

Between 2013 and 2016, Schor with other in researched the sharing economy, interviewing a hundred workers.[8]

Currently, Schor is Professor of sociology at Boston College and on the advisory board of the Center for a New American Dream.[1][14]

Personal life

Schor grew up in California, Pennsylvania where her father developed the first specialty health clinic for minors. As she grew up she gained a stronger sense of class difference and labor exploitation. She also found herself reading Marx at a young age.[9] currently resides in Newton, MA. She has two children. Her husband, Prasannan Parthasarathi is also a professor at Boston College.[10]

Thoughts

In an interview with Peter Shea she talks about her early intellectual formation, her critique of conventional economics, and her decision to write for an audience that includes the general public as well as her colleagues in the academy.[2]

In another interview discussing her book Plentitude: The New Economics of True Wealth she says, "When people work too many hours they tend to feel deprived and they use consumption to reward themselves, whether that be for an expensive vacation, kitchen remodel or a bigger diamond. The downturn has actually opened up space for people to think about different trajectories for their consumption expectations over their lifetimes.”[11]

Five Books that have influenced her the most:

  • Pierre Bourdieu, Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste';
  • Karl Marx, Das Kapital, vol 1;
  • Georg W. Friedrich Hegel, Phenomenology of Mind;
