Social Science Research Committee Maps These scholars, whose work is sometimes associated with the label "Chicago school," or "Chicago School of Sociology," played a major role in establishing urban studies as an important academic enterprise. All of these maps (even those that say "Dept. of Sociology") were produced under the aegis of the Social Science Research Committee or its immediate predecessor, the Local Community Research Committee. Chicago in the 1920s and 1930s was, like Chicago today, a city of great economic contrasts, but the geography was quite different. www.lib.uchicago.edu /e/su/maps/ssrc   (578 words)

Addams - Outline With Park's active hostility to the "label" of social reformer (although he frequently engaged in social reform activities) and Burgess' wavering commitment to it, the applied, political component of sociology languished and finally died within the Chicago School. 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. 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. www2.pfeiffer.edu /~lridener/DSS/Addams/addint14.html   (981 words)

DLF's Comparative Method Class Such efforts have been labeled differently, such as "comparative studies," "cross-cultural analysis," and "cross-national analysis." Whatever their label, however, they are a part of the common enterprise of describing, explaining, and developing theories about socio-cultural phenomena as they occur in social units (groups, tribes, societies, cultures) that are evidently dissimilar to one an other. "Comparative sociology," Durkheim observed, "is not a particular branch of sociology; it sociology itself, in so far as it ceases to be purely descriptive and "to account for facts". In addition, both scholars conducted extensive comparative studies, which remain among the best, even though the quality of data and the research techniques available to them were inferior to those developed since their time. poli.haifa.ac.il /~levi/bsmelser.htm   (1628 words)

blumer.doc Symbolic Interactionism has outgrown the label that Blumer originally assigned it and now it is perceived of as the origin for a form of social thought. Overall, symbolic interactionism was considered a marginal oppositional perspective that rejected the dominant positivistic and functionalist theories in sociology and criminology (Fine, 1993). Regardless of where one stands on their perception of symbolic interactionism its importance to criminology and sociology cannot be denied. www.criminology.fsu.edu /crimtheory/2004/blumer.doc   (4204 words)

CMT.com : Terry Callier : Biography However, when Mizell exited Elektra, Callier was quickly dropped from his contract; after a few more years of diligent touring, he largely disappeared from music around during the early '80s; a single parent, he instead accepted a job as a computer programmer, returning to college during the evenings to pursue a degree in sociology. Despite essentially retiring from performing, Callier continued composing songs, and in 1991 he received a surprise telephone call from fan Eddie Pillar, the head of the U.K. label Acid Jazz. In 1997, he teamed with British singer Beth Orton, another of his most vocal supporters, to record a pair of tracks for her superb EP Best Bit; the following year, Callier also released his Verve Forecast debut Timepeace, his first major-label effort in close to two decades. www.cmt.com /artists/az/callier_terry/bio.jhtml   (4204 words)

Hale spoke to two introductory sociology courses, two history classes dealing with human rights and social movement politics, and 20 students from a nearby high school, as well as Balch’s “Extraordinary Group Behavior” class for over five and a half hours.

Labeling theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Labeling Theory (or Labelling Theory) is relevant to criminology and sociology explaining how criminal behavior is perpetuated by the police and other "labelers". Consequently, labeling theory postulates that it is possible to prevent social deviance via a limited social shaming reaction in "labelers" and replacing moral indignation with tolerance. Society may use more specific labels such as "murderer" or "rapist" or "pedophile" to demonstrate more clearly after the event the extent of its disapproval, but there is a slightly mechanical determinism in asserting that the application of a label will invariably modify the behavior of the one labeled. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Labeling_theory   (2717 words)

The Strange Death of Ordinary Language Philosophy I do not think that Wittgenstein would have claimed that his conception of philosophy was valid for all the historical phenomena which we heap under the label ‘philosophy’. If philosophy as a separate academic subject ceased to exist, philosophical questions would naturally continue their existence in such disciplines as law, mathematics, sociology, psychology and history. Philosophy supplies "remarks on the natural history of human beings" (Wittgenstein 1953: §415); on a set of features that is found in every culture and every human form of life, and is not "limited by the form of life in which it occurs," as Gellner would have us believe. www.helsinki.fi /~tuschano/writings/strange   (117 words)

RFE/RL Newsline, 04-02-17 It is difficult to label him, other than as "patriot," perhaps reflecting the vagueness of available labels (what, after all, are "neoliberalism" and "neoconservatism"?). A poll conducted in late January by the Democratic Initiatives Fund and the Kyiv-based International Institute of Sociology suggested that 34 percent of Ukrainian citizens would like to move to another country, Interfax reported on 16 February. The pollsters concluded that 7.7 percent would choose to move to Russia, 7.4 percent to Germany, 3.9 percent to Canada, 3.8 percent to the United States, 1.8 percent to France, 1.2 percent to the United Kingdom, and 1.2 percent to Israel. www.hri.org /news/balkans/rferl/2004/04-02-17.rferl.html   (10576 words)

Metanews: Soft science Laypeople and academicians alike tend to judge fields such as sociology, psychology, and political science as "soft" because they are presumed to be understandable, devoid of mathematical rigor, and concerned with everyday concepts such as interpersonal relationships. Government officials, he noted, will sometimes label social science projects unfairly as research into "what everyone knows anyway" because the topics are, by their nature, closely tied to everyday life. Government allocations for social science research were on the rise through the end of last year, but Gans cautions against assuming that this upward trend will continue during the period of Republican dominance in Congress. www.columbia.edu /cu/21stC/issue-1.1/soft.htm   (7511 words)

Queer Queer studies are the academic study of issues raised in literary theory, political science, history, sociology, ethics, and other fields by an examination of the identity, lives, history, and perception of Queer people. It is important to note the re-appropriation of the term "queer" in the post-Stonewall era and its contemporary use as an affirmative self-nominated identity label. Queer is used as a unifying umbrella term for people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, and also for those who are transgender, transsexual, and/or intersexual (although many transgender, transsexual and intersexual people identify as heterosexual or straight, and/or not queer). www.jahsonic.com /Queer.html   (2635 words)

Pathological skepticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The terms Pathological skepticism and Pseudoskepticism were coined, by Marcello Truzzi (sociology professor at Eastern Michigan University), in the early 1990s in response to the skeptic groups who apply the label of "Pathological Science" to fields which Truzzi thought might be better described as protoscience. Pathological skepticism (or Pseudoskepticism) is a class of pseudoscience masquerading as proper skepticism. The difference between pseudoskepticism and skepticism are in the conduct of an individual's actions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pseudoskepticism   (2635 words)

sociology - Anarchism Many anarchists are critical of the black bloc because some blocs have engaged in property destruction against multi-national corporations and have thus gotten a label as "violent", and "adventurists" from media and large scale liberal organizations. Eco-anarchism generally is a beleif in deep ecology, direct action against earth destorying insitutions and systems, and generally a critique of industrial capitalism, although generally not against civilization per say. The Spanish Confederación Nacional del Trabajo played a major role in the Spanish Civil War and today, the Confederación General del Trabajo is the third biggest union in Spain. www.aboutsociology.com /sociology/Anarchism   (7178 words)

Knowledge King - Critical theory Critical theory, in sociology and philosophy, is shorthand for critical theory of society or critical social theory, a label used by the Frankfurt School (i.e. Although the original critical social theorists were Marxists and there is some evidence that in their choice of the phrase "critical theory of society" they were in part influenced by its sounding less politically controversial than "Marxism", nevertheless there were substantial substantive reasons for this choice. First, they were explicitly linking up with the "critical philosophy" of Immanuel Kant, where the term "critique" meant philosophical reflection on the limits of claims made for certain kinds of knowledge and a direct connection between such critique and the emphasis on moral autonomy. www.knowledgeking.net /encyclopedia/c/cr/critical_theory_1.html   (377 words)
