	Chicago school (sociology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sociology, the Chicago School refers to the first major attempt to study the urban environment by combined efforts of theory and ethnographic fieldwork in Chicago.
		While involving scholars at several Chicago area universities, the term is often used interchangably to refer to the University of Chicago's sociology department - the world's oldest and one of the most prestigious.
		The controversial views of the Los Angeles School on postmodern urbanism and scholarship are a conscious effort to depart from Chicago school.

		The Chicago school of sociology is a well formed sociological discipline, it was established in 1892 in Chicago; it focused on criminology and identifying environmental factors associated with crime.
		The Chicago school of sociology was established in 1892 by Albion Small, it was the first sociology department in the world, the Chicago school of sociology was according to Marshall (1998:67) ‘Heavily informed by philosophical pragmatism, the direct observation of experience’.
		Chicago was a city was in a state of great change, this is more than likely why the Chicago school adopted a fascinating gaze on the city, as it is unusual for sociologists to just study their immediate surroundings.

	THE CHICAGO SCHOOL
		In its strictest sense, the "Chicago School" refers to the approach of the members of the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago over the past century.
		It was the Second Chicago School that is often accused of being the modern version of Manchester School liberalism (or, as some maintain, the more conservative tradition of American apologism).
		For the longest time, Chicago was the only school in America not swept by the Keynesian Revolution (the presence of Lloyd A. Metzler for a brief period on the faculty was exceptional).

	Obituary: Philip Hauser, Sociology
		He began his studies in sociology at a time when the field was gaining prominence through the leadership of a group of professors who founded what came to be known as the Chicago school of sociology.
		Members of the Chicago school took a keen interest in urban affairs and were leaders in developing new methods -- such as participant observation and the gathering of life histories -- for studying cities.
		In Chicago, he was a member of the board of governors of the Metropolitan Housing and Planning Council from 1958 to 1970 and also served as a consultant for the city's Department of Development & Planning and the Department of Health.

		The school believed the community to be a major factor on human behavior and that the city functioned as a microcosm.
		Chicago theorists combined data, such as individual cases with population statistics which constructed an important foundation that has since been the basis for many criminological theories of today.
		All of this served as a laboratory for the new sociologists at the University of Chicago.

		People say "Chicago School" and think to themselves, as the late Helen Hughes used to say (though she said it sarcastically), "There were giants on the earth in those days," and then they add that it is time we imitated those giant ways.
		At every period of its development, Chicago was a school of activity, an organization that was trying to cover the major possibilities available in the field at any moment (even though one might for a time be dominant) in order to be able to field an adequate team.
		The real legacy of Chicago is the mixture of things that characterized the school of activity at every period: open, whether through choice or necessity, to a variety of ways of doing sociology, eclectic because circumstances pushed it to be.

		Chicago's source of European labor was "turned off" at the time of World War I, and shortly thereafter by the Immigration Act of 1924.
		Sociology was focused by the location of the University of Chicago in the immigrant neighborhoods of downtown Chicago, and an association with Jane Addams’ Hull House.

	Chicago School
		Dewey’s University Laboratory School was a paradigm for improvements to Chicago city schools and for the progressive-education movement, and he and Mead championed industrial education.
		His pragmatism was reflected in his experimental church school curriculum and his aim to help his congregation integrate religion, as the highest expression of community values, into all aspects of their lives.
		All of the Chicago pragmatists exemplified the proper experimental relationship between philosophical reflection and social activism.

		He developed here what would be called the "Iowa school" of symbolic interactionism, and which was differentiated from the "Chicago school" developed through the work of Herbert Blumer.
		The Iowa school became distinctive for its emphasis on operationalizing symbolic interactionist concepts (such as self, reference group, or social object) in a standardized way so that hypotheses could be developed and empirically tested.
		The Chicago school was more anthropological in that it strived to understand the meaning system of an individual or group of people, without the emphasis on uncovering generalizable patterns in human behavior.

		Although all of them were originally intimately tied to pragmatism and to Addams' particular practice of sociology, the linkages between symbolic interactionism and social reform have been consistently overlooked in historical accounts of the development of the theoretical perspective.
		Although Park and Burgess denied the significance of the work of Addams and many of the male founders of the Chicago School, these successors in the Chicago School were still affected by the early ideas, substantive concerns, and methodological techniques of their predecessors.
		Addams' relationship to sociology was also directly tied to the status of women as a topic of inquiry and as colleagues in the sociological enterprise.

	The Chicago School of Pragmatism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Chicago school of pragmatists was appropriately baptized and formally announced to the world upon the occasion of its manifesto’s publication.
		Peirce characteristically complained about the Chicago school’s departure from his strict path of scientific logic (on other occasions he even faulted James for this error), but this sour note did not detract from the obvious significance of this new and very potent version of pragmatism.
		The early writings of the Chicago pragmatists display an eagerness to attack all other philosophical camps at once, and an awareness that all fields of philosophy must be powerfully affected by their methodology.

	Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 98055981
		In this detailed history of the Chicago School of Sociology, Andrew Abbott investigates central topics in the emergence of modern scholarship, paying special attention to "schools of science" and how such schools reproduce themselves over time.
		Embedded in this analysis of the school and its practices is a broader theoretical argument, which Abbott uses to redefine social objects as a sequence of interconnected events rather than as fixed entities.
		Abbott's theories grow directly out of the Chicago School's insistence that social life be located in time and place, a tradition that has been at the heart of the school since its founding one hundred years ago.

		Both the men and Addams were erased in many ways from accounts of the intellectual growth and development of sociology due to the bias of their successors, frequently ungrateful students, who were faculty at the University of Chicago during the 1920s.
		Furthermore, the men of the Chicago School after 1918 often claimed that their ideas originated within themselves, disassociating themselves from their reform roots and intellectual forebears.
