Biography
PhD University of Toronto, 2023
Milo拧 Bro膰i膰 is a sociologist whose research broadly investigates the moral dimensions of political conflict in post-industrial societies. He is particularly interested in unpacking the micro foundations of political polarization by examining the formation of moral orientations that underlie it. Bro膰i膰 addresses this topic in different ways, focusing primarily on developmental processes during the transition from late adolescence into early adulthood. One project examines moral socialization in higher education with an eye to its relation to 鈥榗ulture war鈥� conflict. Another project explores the role of alienation as a catalyst for participation in social movements. In this work and elsewhere, Bro膰i膰 re-evaluates classic sociological topics with modern techniques of data analysis, engaging timely issues with a perspective both old and new. This builds on a general interest in charting sociology鈥檚 intellectual movements which comes to a head in his work documenting the evolving legacy of Georg Simmel.
