Washington, D.C. 20036 San Francisco Hilton San Francisco August 25-29, 1975 2 3 Theme: CONFLICT AND DISSENSUS: CONTEMPORARY PROGRAM COMMITTEE AND· HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES LEWIS A. CosER, Chair, State University of New York, Stony Brook This theme has been .chosen not because I claim any logical or N. J. DEMERATH III, University of Massachusetts sociological priority of social conflict over social integration, or of KAI T. ERIKSON, Yale University dissensus over consensus, but rather because I believe that the study WILLIAM H. FoRM, University of Illinois of conflict and dissensus has been comparatively neglected even JosEPH S. HIMES, University of North Carolina, Greensboro though it looms very large .indeed in contemporary America as well SUZANNE KELLER, Princeton University as in the historical record. The discipline of sociology cannot afford RAYMOND W. ¥AcK, Northwestern University to avert its gaze from the powerful ideal or material interestS which JAMES F. SHORT, JR., Washington State University set persons and groups against one another, though it should con J. MILTON YINGER, Oberlin College tinue to focus attention on those forces that ·bind them together in common pursuits. Gunnar Myrdal wrote recently that "progress in social science lies through controversy, which should be sharpened and not veiled~" I fully agree with him, and thus this idea is embodied in the structure of our progriUD for 1975 in a deliberate attempt to stimulate as much SUBCOMMITTEE ON SUPPLEMENTARY SESSIONS controversy at these meetings as possible. There will be occasions for functionalists to debate with Marxists, for ethnomethodolbgists to NICHOLAS J. DEMERATH, Washington University confront exchange theorists, and for symbolic interactionists to test EDITH GRABER, Washington University their mettle against system theorists. HERMAN SMITH, University of Missouri, St. Louis Controversy will not be limited to theoretical approaches, how SARAH SUTKER, University of Missouri, St. Louis'· ever. It will iargely center on substantive matters. There will be SOLOMON SUTKER, University of lt:fissouri, St. Louis occasions to debate the large macro-sociological iss1,1es of freedom vs. control, or centralization vs. decentralization. But there:will also be occasion to discuss more specific issues, such as, traditional family planning vs. attempts to reach zero population growth; structural vs. social-psychological theories of revolutions; local vs. centralized control of commUnity organizations; involvement vs. detachment in SUBCOMMITTEE ON LUNCHEON ROUNDTABLES problem-oriented social research. It is my fond hope that· such discussions, debates, and contro GAYE TUCHMAN, Queens College, CUNY versies will help bring sociologists together. Our discipline seems in JoHN HAMMOND, JR., Columbia University danger of increasing fragmentation and splintering. By engaging one WoLF HEYDEBRAND, New York University another in debate and controversy. sociologists may find it possible to . develop the rudiments of a common language. LEWIS A.
