E. B. Du Bois Sociological Theory Political Sociology American Society Social Inequality Race Religion CURRENT RESEARCH My book, The Scholar Denied: W. E. B. Du Bois and the Birth of Modern Sociology, published August 2015, by the University of California Press is continuing to have a huge influence in sociology and the social sciences. Over 60 scholars have reviewed it. It has been the subject of six symposia in major journals and won six awards. In October of 2016, I delivered the prestigious Annual Lecture for the British Journal of Sociology at The London School of Economics. That lecture along with six scholarly commentary was published as lead article in the March 2017 The British Journal of Sociology. My responses to these commentaries also appeared in this journal. The Scholar Denied is attracting substantial international attention and is being discussed and reviewed in a number of countries. It has also been the subject of five author meets critics sessions at major conferences. Much of my recent scholarly activities have centered on additional research and writing on issue highlighted by the book but did not receive adequate attention. Currently I have formed an editorial team to produce a definitive reader on W. E. B. Du Bois to be published by Oxford University Press. This project will take several years to complete. Thus, most of my future work will address the many controversies ignited by The Scholar Denied. I continue to work on the civil rights movement and collective action. I plan to continue to produce scholarship from this project over the next several years. 2 AWARDS and HONORS 2017: John D McCarthy Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Scholarship of Social Movements and Collective Behavior 2017: Award for Outstanding Leadership in Social Activism, Community Organizing, and Scholarly Teaching, Brooklyn, NY City Council 2017: Fulbright Specialist Award The Scholar Denied: W.
