Volume 1 contains: • The story of John Bascom, President of UW, 1874-1887, progenitor of “The Wisconsin Idea, and first person to teach sociology at UW • Richard T. Ely, economist-sociologist who built UW as a leading cen- ter for social science at the turn of the 20th century. His “heresy trial” led to the Regents’ “sifting & winnowing” declaration. • John R. Commons, a sociologist who became the leader of the insti- tutional economists at UW—but tainted by racism, like many pro- gressives of the period • E. A. Ross, a progressive economist who shifted to sociology after be- ing fired at Stanford. A pioneer in social psychology and social con- trol. A crusader for academic freedom and a fearless public intellec- tual who was probably the world’s most famous sociologist between 1900 and 1930. Also tainted by racism in his early years. • Other famous early sociologists, including John L. Gillin, Kimball Young, and Samuel Stouffer • C. J. Galpin, the chief founder of rural sociology, human ecology, and empirical research at UW, and John H. Kolb, the founder of the De- partment of Rural Sociology • Anthropology in the department in the 1930’s: Ralph Linton and Charlotte Gower • The intersecting lives and conflicts of C. Wright Mills, Don Martin- dale, Hans Gerth, and Howard P. Becker • The enigmatic personalities of Hans Gerth and Howard P. Becker, and the latter’s disruptive influence in the department • The movement toward interdisciplinary research organizations in America, and Wisconsin’s failed efforts to create such units and at- tract foundation funding • The declining reputation of UW Sociology in the 1930s to 1950s, and the lack of research funding for the social sciences by the UW admin- istration, government agencies, and private foundations. • Wisconsin Sociology’s turnaround between 1958 and 1980, initiated by William H. Sewell and carried forward by many others • Rural Sociology’s growth, reorientation, and renaming as Communi- ty and Environmental Sociology • Attacks on civil liberties and academic freedom • Wisconsin student protests and demonstrations, 1960-1974 • Political threats to UW and Wisconsin unions, 2010-2016 CHAPTER 1 Graduate Education PhDs and Master’s Degrees Granted Wisconsin sociologists have contributed greatly to the discipline of sociol- ogy, not just through their research and publications, but through the edu- cation and training of new professional sociologists. Since the first graduate degree in sociology was granted in 1909, 1133 persons have earned PhDs and 1595 have completed master’s degrees. (See Table 8.) The University of Wisconsin has had one of the larger programs since the early days of the dis- cipline, and its graduates are widely spread throughout the land and abroad in universities and government agencies.

Ross and Gillin were the principal self-identified sociologists in the de- partment during the early years when the Department of Political Economy started offering PhDs and master’s degrees in sociology, though Ely and Commons also played important roles and sometimes asserted their identi- ty as sociologists. During the first eleven years between 1909 and 1919, only seven PhDs and 20 master’s degrees were granted in sociology, but during the 1920s the production of PhDs quadrupled. They increased another 25 percent in the 1930s and reached a new high of seven per year in 1940 and 1941. Then with the start of World War II the numbers fell sharply while many young men were in the armed forces, but they recovered in the late 1940s and averaged about six per year in the 1950s and early 1960s. There was a sharp turn upward starting in 1966, when 13 PhDs were granted, and the number has been in double figures every year since then. I suspect that the explosion in numbers in the late 1960s and 1970s was a response to the social activism of the 1960s—the Civil Rights Movement, the Peace Movement, the Women’s Rights Movement, the Environmental Movement, and movements for the rights of various minority groups. There was a spirit of idealism that led many college students to turn to sociology as a vocation that might also permit them to address their social concerns in some way. Because there is a lag of several years between entering a grad- uate program and completing a degree, the peak year for sociology PhDs at Wisconsin was 1973 when 30 were granted, and for master’s degrees 1970, when 51 were completed. Though the University of Wisconsin was one of the centers of activism in the 1960s and had a reputation as a liberal campus, similar things were happening across the nation. The 1970s represented a high-water mark for the granting of PhDs in sociology nationally, with 1975-76 representing the peak with 729 granted (National Center for Edu- cation Statistics, Digest of Education Statistics, Table 325.92). The number of PhDs and master’s degrees declined somewhat at Wisconsin in the 1980s and a little more in the 1990s, then nosed down sharply in the 2000s. The yearly production of PhDs has increased sharply again since 2010, but mas- ter’s degrees have continued to decline slightly. The 1130 PhDs awarded by the University of Wisconsin in sociology no doubt constitutes a significant portion of the total number of sociology PhDs produced by American universities. How does the Wisconsin department compare with other leading departments? The National Science Foundation has done annual surveys of sociology PhDs awarded in the United States since 1966. I am not aware of any studies of the accuracy of the surveys, which, like all similar surveys, depend on the record-keeping, cooperation, and diligence of personnel at a great many reporting units. Their figures by department have not yet been published, but with the help of Michael Kisielewski and the research staff at the American Sociological Association, 2 G E I have been able to download the relevant data from the WebCASPAR da- tabase. The NSF sociology data by department for the period 1966 to 2011 are shown for the forty largest programs in Table 9. During this period 182 different American universities granted at least one PhD in sociology, but the 55 smallest programs produced only 148—less than ten each—constitut- ing only 0.6 percent of the total. Even the smallest 100 programs produced only 3188—less than 130 each—and made up only 12 percent of the total.

For most people, religion is a faith to be lived—or perhaps to be neglected—but for a few, it is also a phenomenon to be studied…. The student of society must be a student of religion; and the student of religion must be a student of society. -- J. Milton Yinger Course Description & Student Outcomes: Religion exists in a social context, and always is shaped by and shapes its social context. Furthermore, religion itself is always (at least in part) a socially constituted reality--that is, its content and structure are always formed, at least partially, out of the "stuff" of the socio-cultural world (language, symbols, groups, norms, interactions, resources, organizations, etc.). The sociology of religion pursues an understanding of both the "social-ness'" of religion itself and the mutually influencing interactions between religion and its social environment. We will analyze religious beliefs, practices, and organizations from a sociological perspective, with a primary focus on religion in contemporary American society. Specifically, this course is designed to: 1. Cultivate in students an understanding of the distinctively sociological approach to studying religion. There are many approaches to studying religion--historical, psychological, theological, sociological, anthropological, etc. Since in this class we take a distinctively sociological approach, our most basic goal is to develop an understanding of and appreciation for the kinds of questions sociologists ask and the kind of explanations they offer when they analyze religion.

  • Ethics on the Run by STEVEN LUBET Review Of
    Ethics On The Run By STEVEN LUBET Review of “On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City (Fieldwork Encounters and Discoveries), by Alice Goffman University of Chicago Press, 2014 Alice Goffman’s widely acclaimed On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City has drawn more positive attention than almost any sociology book in recent years. The success of the book led to a lecture tour of at least twenty sociology departments and conferences. Her TED talk, which was often interrupted by applause, has had nearly 700,000 views. A careful reading of On the Run, however, leaves me with vexing questions about the author’s accuracy and reliability. There are just too many incidents that strike me as unlikely to have occurred as she describes them. One must try to keep an open mind about such things – especially regarding someone as obviously brilliant and dedicated as Goffman – so readers may disagree with me about the extent of her embellishments. In any event, there is a bigger problem. As I will explain below, Goffman appears to have participated in a serious felony in the course of her field work – a circumstance that seems to have escaped the notice of her teachers, her mentors, her publishers, her admirers, and even her critics. On the Run is the story of the six years Goffman spent conducting an ethnographic study in a poor black community in West Philadelphia. Beginning in her sophomore year at the University of Pennsylvania and continuing through her graduate work at Princeton, she observed a group of young men in a neighborhood she pseudonymously called 6th Street.
