Interviews with economic sociologists

As part of my Economic Sociology PhD course, a fantastic set of sociologists joined remotely to talk about their recent work. Many of these researchers generously allowed us to record these conversations. In their interviews, they talk about the questions that motivate them, discuss the data challenges they faced, and get real about the review process.  I hope it's a useful resource for other instructors and grad students.
