Dr Sam Friedman – professor of Sociology LSE and author of The Class Ceiling 
Sam’s focus is the cultural dimension of contemporary class division. He is author of The Class Ceiling: Why it Pays to be Privileged, which looks into social mobility in Britain’s higher professional and managerial occupations, and is currently writing a book examining the propulsive power of Britain’s most elite private schools and the changing nature of elite culture – to provide a radical new understanding of the British elite.
