Catherine Hakim

Catherine Hakim (født 30. mai 1948) er en britisk sosiolog og seniorforsker ved London School of Economics. Hakims hovedinteresser er arbeidsliv, kvinners yrkesdeltagelse og forskningsmetode. Hun er best kjent for å ha utviklet preferanseteorien, og for å være kritisk til feministiske synspunkter på kvinners arbeid. Hakim har også utviklet en teori om erotisk kapital. Hakims forskning har hatt et stort politisk gjennomslag, blant annet i Australia.
