####  We’re living through unprecedented times, marked by historic events and multiple crises. In [this symposium](https://inequality.wcfia.harvard.edu/event/comparative-inequality-inclusion-cluster-symposium-unsettled), we will take up what it means to live through such moments, building on Ann Swidler’s emblematic distinction between [settled and unsettled times](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2095521?seq=1). Speakers will present papers that elaborate on the meaning of ‘unsettled’—everything from nationalism to not getting a job (extended abstracts of the papers will be shared with registered participants prior to the event). We are aiming for a lively conversation on 'unsettled times'—what they mean, how they get built up or diffused, or indeed the possibilities for resilience when everything is unsettled. The symposium will conclude with [Ann Swidler](https://sociology.berkeley.edu/faculty/ann-swidler) sharing her reflections and hosting the Q&A session with Michèle Lamont.
