Stigler’s study of what is generally known as “the normal distribution” or “the Gaussian distribution” as a case in point of his ixonicaBy self-exemplifyingeponymous law is based in part on its eponymous appearance in 80 textbooks of statistics, from 1816 to 1976. 2 As will become evident, this discursive composite of archival dccuments, biography of a sociological idea, and analysis of social mechanisms involved in the diffusion of that idea departs from the tidy format that has come to be p&bed for the scientific paper. This is by design and with the indulgent consent of the editor of SocialForces. But then, that only speaks for a continuing largeness of spirit of its editorial policy which, back in 1934, allowed the ironic phrase “enlightened Boojum of Positivism” (with its allusion to Lewis Carroll’s immortal The Hunting of the &ark) to appear in my very fist article, published in this journal better than 60 Y- ago.

  • Chicago School ASA.Cwk
    1 Norbert Wiley, University of Illinois, Urbana The Chicago School and Democracy: An Elective Affinity Analysis* Abstract. This paper argues that the main achievement of the interwar (1914-1936 or so) University of Chicago sociology department was to construct a humanistic social psychology, one that defined human nature as composed of symbols. This replaced the various social psychologies that pictured humans as biologically determined in some way. In the late teens and early twenties there was a culture war over “Americanization” in the United States. The conservatives argued that the new immigrants (mostly Jews, Italians and Poles) were biologically inferior to the native protestants due to faulty, inborn instincts. They further argued that the new immigrants should not have the full rights of American citizenship. The liberals, lead by the Chicago department, argued that “all men were equal.” They backed this up with the claim that all humans consisted of symbols (cultural elements) and that these semiotic resources were all equal. Human were morally and legally equal because they were “ontologically” equal. With this social psychology the Chicago department built a sociology, consisting largely of community studies in Chicago. The sociology was important, but not as important as the social psychology. I then make a comparison between Chicago sociology and Weber’s Protestant Ethic, arguing that in both cases the causal force at work was one that used an elective affinity process. ********************************** The major achievements of the classic Chicago school of sociology (World War I to about 1936) were two-fold. First they invented a sociology, along with a rich tradition of empirical research, and second they invented a system of presuppositions to that sociology.

American Sociology and the Genealogy of its Missing Women on Wikipedia Wei Luo, Julia Adams and Hannah Brueckner “People just don't vanish and so forth.” “But she has.” “What?” “Vanished.” “Who?” “The old dame.” … “But how could she?” “What?” “Vanish.” “I don't know.” “That just explains my point. People just don't disappear into thin air.” --- Alfred Hitchcock, The Lady Vanishes (1938)1 INTRODUCTION In comparison to many academic disciplines, sociology has been relatively open to women since its founding, and seems increasingly so. Yet many notable female sociologists are missing from the public history of American sociology, both print and digital. The rise of crowd- sourced digital sources, particularly the largest and most influential, Wikipedia, seems to promise a new and more welcoming approach.

  • Public Sociologies / 1603 Public Sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities*
    Public Sociologies / 1603 Public Sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities* MICHAEL BURAWOY, University of California, Berkeley Abstract The growing interest in public sociologies marks an increasing gap between the ethos of sociologists and social, political, and economic tendencies in the wider society. Public sociology aims to enrich public debate about moral and political issues by infusing them with sociological theory and research. It has to be distinguished from policy, professional, and critical sociologies. Together these four interdependent sociologies enter into relations of domination and subordination, forming a disciplinary division of labor that varies among academic institutions as well as over time, both within and between nations. Applying the same disciplinary matrix to the other social sciences suggests that sociology’s specific contribution lies in its relation to civil society, and, thus, in its defense of human interests against the encroachment of states and markets. In 2003 the members of the American Sociological Association (ASA) were asked to vote on a member resolution opposing the war in Iraq. The resolution included the following justification: “[F]oreign interventions that do not have the support of the world community create more problems than solutions . Instead of lessening the risk of terrorist attacks, this invasion could serve as the spark for multiple attacks in years to come.” It passed by a two thirds majority (with 22% of voting members abstaining) and became the association’s official position. In an opinion poll on the same ballot, 75% of the members who expressed an opinion were opposed to the war. To assess the ethos of sociologists * This article was the basis of my address to the North Carolina Sociological Association, March 5, 2004.

    Sociology 915 Professor Mustafa Emirbayer Spring Semester 2011 O f fice: 8141 Sewell Social Science Thursdays 5-8 PM Office Telephone: 262-4419 Classroom: 4314 Sewell Social Science Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Thursdays 12-1 PM http://ssc.wisc.edu/~emirbaye/ The Chicago School of Sociology Overview of the Course: This course will encompass every aspect of the Chicago School: its philosophic origins, historical development, theoretical innovations, use of ethnographic and other methods, and contributions to such areas as urban studies, social psychology, race relations, social organization and disorganization, ecology, and marginality. Chronologically, it will cover both the original Chicago School (interwar years) and the Second Chicago School (early postwar period). Readings: Because of the open-endedness of the syllabus, no books will be on order at the bookstore. Students are expected to procure their own copies of books they wish to own. A number of books (dozens) will be on reserve at the Social Science Reference Library (8th floor of Sewell Social Science Building). In addition, many selections will be available as pdf files at Learn@UW. For future reference, this syllabus will also be available at Learn@UW. Grading Format: Students’ grades for this course will be based on two different requirements, each of which will contribute 50% to the final grade. First, students will be evaluated on a final paper. Second, they will be graded on their class attendance and participation. More on each of these below. Final Paper: One week after the final class meeting of the semester (at 5 p.m. that day), a final paper will be due.
