    Caroline Hodges Persell: Good afternoon and welcome to the Presidential and Awards Ceremony of the American Sociological Association in its Centennial Year. If you are coming in the doors, I will ask those of you who have seats next to you to raise your hand please, a trick I just learned from our President Troy Duster. So come on in and have a seat and welcome. I am Caroline Persell. I am the Vice President of the Association and the first thing we are going to do is take a moment of remembrance for those of our colleagues who have died in the past year and their names will be on the screen and we will remember them in silence. Thank you. (Screen shot of names 00:00:46 to 00:01:30). Okay. Thank you. It gives me great pleasure now to introduce a distinguished international visitor who is going to present a plaque to our President, Troy Duster. Professor Roberto Capriani, Presidente Associazione Italiana Associologio will come up and give a presentation or our President Troy Duster. Roberto Capriani: Mr. President, colleagues. The Founder of the American Sociological Society, Lester Ward learned many languages and traveled a lot and it was his ideas to summon European scholars. The spirit of our Founders, our sponsors, must be preserved, notwithstanding the differences from a historical point of view. When the American Journal of Sociology began in Italy, we had Revista Italiana Associologia – The Italian Review of Sociology. Afterwards, Vilfredo Pareto left our country and our fascist government prevented any development of sociological studies.

BOOK NOTE Integrating the "Underclass": Confronting America's Enduring Apartheid Olati Johnson* AMERICAN APARTHEID: SEGREGATION AND THE MAKING OF THE UNDERCLASS. By Douglas S. Masseyt & Nancy A. Denton.t Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press. 1993. 292 pp. $14.95. Douglas Massey and Nancy Denton's American Apartheid argues that housing integration has inappropriatelydisappeared from the nationalagenda and is critical to remedying the problems of the so-called "underclass." Re- viewer Olati Johnson praises the authors' refusal to dichotomize race and class and the roles both play in creatingand maintaininghousing segregation. However, she argues, Massey and Dentonfail to examine critically either the concept of the underclass or the integration ideology they espouse. Specifi- cally, she contends, the authorsfail to confront the limits of integration strate- gies in providing affordable housing or combating the problem of tokenism.

In this course, we will identify the basic contours of the structure and culture of social inequality in the United States and beyond through engagement with sociological research on class, race, gender, and immigration. Through our reading and active participation in lectures, we will develop answers to the central questions that motivate much sociological inquiry into inequality: Who gets what? Who is included and excluded? How and why? Should/can inequality be addressed? OBJECTIVES In this introductory course on social inequality, we will: 1. Develop a descriptive and analytical understanding of inequality 2. Explore central concepts through which sociologists investigate inequality. 3. Become familiar with key debates that animate contemporary research on inequality. 4. Consider and critique competing explanations for distribution and recognition conceived as two dynamic dimensions of inequality. 5. Mobilize the analytical tools learned in this course to make sense of your own experience with the various dimensions of inequality (access to resources and (mis)recognition). 6. Consider how you can address the challenges presented by inequality in the current moment (e.g. by lowering stigmatization in your immediate environment, collaborating with various NGOs, etc.). REQUIREMENTS In service of our objectives for the course, you are asked to: 1.

  • SOCIAL CAPITAL: Its Origins and Applications in Modern Sociology

    SOCIAL CAPITAL: Its Origins and Applications in Modern Sociology

    Annu. Rev. Sociol. 1998. 24:1–24 Copyright © 1998 by Annual Reviews. All rights reserved SOCIAL CAPITAL: Its Origins and Applications in Modern Sociology Alejandro Portes Department of Sociology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08540 KEY WORDS: social control, family support, networks, sociability ABSTRACT This paper reviews the origins and definitions of social capital in the writings of Bourdieu, Loury, and Coleman, among other authors. It distinguishes four sources of social capital and examines their dynamics. Applications of the concept in the sociological literature emphasize its role in social control, in family support, and in benefits mediated by extrafamilial networks. I provide examples of each of these positive functions. Negative consequences of the same processes also deserve attention for a balanced picture of the forces at play. I review four such consequences and illustrate them with relevant ex- amples. Recent writings on social capital have extended the concept from an individual asset to a feature of communities and even nations. The final sec- tions describe this conceptual stretch and examine its limitations. I argue that, as shorthand for the positive consequences of sociability, social capital has a definite place in sociological theory. However, excessive extensions of the concept may jeopardize its heuristic value.
