Lewis A. Coser Papers BC.1994.159 - Page 4 - Biographic note German-American sociologist Lewis A. Coser was born as Ludwig Cohen in Berlin on November 27, 1913; the family's surname later changed to Coser. He left Germany for France when Hitler came to power in 1933. In Paris, Coser studied comparative literature and sociology at the Sorbonne until the advent of World War II. Despite his anti-fascist politics and Jewish religion, he was interned in the south of France due to his German nationality. In 1941, he was granted a visa through the International Relief Association and immigrated to the United States, where he changed his name to Lewis. In 1943, Coser married his immigration case-worker, Rose Laub. They had one daughter, Ellen Coser. Coser and his wife both received doctorates in sociology from Columbia University. While a student, he lectured at the University of Chicago and co-edited Modern Review, a Leftist publication. Coser's dissertation, directed by "the father of the sociology of science" Robert K. Merton, became the basis for The Functions of Social Conflict (1956), which was revolutionary for its illustration of conflict- generated social cohesion. In 1951, Coser was appointed Professor at Brandeis University and went on to found the Department of Sociology there. He founded the radical journal Dissent two years later; Dissent became one of the most important and respected venues for social and cultural criticism in the United States. Coser also published Sociological Theory (1957), Sociology through Literature (1963), Men of Ideas (1965), Political Sociology (1967), and Continuities in the Study of Social Conflict (1967). Coser became Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1968. He published several further books, including: Masters of Sociological Thought (1970), Greedy Organizations (1974), and Refugee Scholars in America: Their Impact and Their Experiences (1984). He served as President of the American Sociological Association, and held fellowships at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and Clare Hall at Cambridge University. In 1982, Coser was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Lewis and Rose Laub Coser both retired from Stony Brook in 1986, and relocated to the Boston area where they taught at Boston College as an adjunct professors. Rose Laub Coser died on August 21, 1994, and Lewis Coser on July 8, 2003, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Sources: "Sociologists Remember Lewis Coser."

  • 1 Coser Paper to the Transatlantic Voyages, International
    Coser Paper to the Transatlantic Voyages, International Congress of Sociology. University of Nancy, France May 31 – jun1 1, 2007 Feiwel Kupferberg Malmo University, Sweden [email protected] Hidden Impacts of a Cultural Migration: Traces of Lewis Coser´s Transatlantic Experiences in his Sociological Work Lewis Coser (1913 – 2003) was one of the most eminent and internationally known American sociologists. His doctoral dissertation, The Functions of social conflict, published in 1956 has been one of the most bestselling modern sociological classics in the postwar era. He wrote numerous books on various topics such as social conflicts, the history of sociological theory, political sociology, the sociology of knowledge and intellectuals, literature and sociology, the sociology of book-publishing. He was also a highly productive book reviewer, served as a president of the American sociological association and was a co-founder of the left-wing, socialist journal Dissent together with his close friend, the literary critic Irving Howe. Less known perhaps is one of Coser´s last books, Refugee scholars in America. Their impact and their experiences that was published in 1984. In this book Coser suggests a model and some interesting hypotheses on what cultural migration does for a sociologist´s intellectual élan, style and interests. In this paper I will try to test his model by applying it on his own life and intellectual contributions. Biography and identity As Bourdieu suggests the idea that a person has a stable or authentic identity or social self is to some degree an illusion. The only thing stable or predictable in a person´s life is that person´s name.

    A TRIBUTE IN LOVING MEMORY Gregory James Gluszak (1982-2006) Greg Gluszak was a lifetime resident of Walker Valley, New York and graduated from the State University of New York at Albany (B.S.) in 2004. At the time of his death, he was a first year Ph.D. student in the Department of Geosciences at Stony Brook University. As an undergraduate student, majoring in geology, Greg became interested in planetary science and was a student team member with the NASA-sponsored New York Center for Studies on the Origin of Life at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and SUNY Albany. During his first year at Stony Brook, Greg was busy taking courses and acting as a teaching assistant in undergraduate classes. He was continuing to pursue his interests in planetary science and had just begun a laboratory research project where he was examining the chemical and mineralogical effects of interacting acidic aqueous solutions with rocks and minerals characteristic of the Martian surface. These experiments were designed to help explain some of the observations made by the Spirit rover that is currently active on the surface of Mars. After his first semester at Stony Brook, Greg returned home to spend Christmas with his family. During this time he fell suddenly and seriously ill. He passed away on January 13, 2006 due to Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome of unknown origin. Greg had a passion for learning and for science. His family has expressed his awe and gratitude at being able to say that he was part of Stony Brook University where he knew his passion would be kept alive and where he would be mentored by some of the most brilliant minds in the country.
