Steven G. Brint (born 1951) is an American sociologist specializing in the study of organizations and education.[1]

He is Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Public Policy at the University of California, Riverside.[2]

His academic focus is the comparative study of schooling systems around the world and the transformations of higher education, professionalism, and class politics in the United States. He recasts the theory of class inversion in the United States, for analysis of the historical transition from “social-trustee” to “expert” professionalism, and for its exploration of managerial, as opposed to consumer, state, and business interests in the transformation of U.S. higher education institutions[3]

He is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed articles and books, with over 13,000 citations.[4] His work has been published in many of the top journals in the American Journal of Sociology,[5] Sociological Theory,[6] and Sociology of Education.[7] Brint is married to historian Michele Renee Salzman.
