	Brayden King: The prestige of academic departments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Val Burris, a sociologist at the University of Oregon, explains that a department’s prestige is not only a function of quality of research and publications, but also a result of accumulated social capital - or, more specifically, the exchange networks of PhDs between institutions.
		Prestige becomes very sticky and changes in the structure occur slowly, if at all, given the self-referential nature of prestige.
		Prestige is often a substitute, at least where I come from, for quality of research.

		A university may be regarded as a prestigeous institution to the extent that it is well-regarded by professionals.
		Thus, one would anticipate that the high prestige schools would be the universities at which government-funded research gets done, that the high pretige university would be "recognized" by government as one of the places to which government support is given.
		Perhaps it should be said that prestige attracts government support rather than causes it but, in either case, an index of prestige which can be used is that of dollar value of federal government support.

	Sociologist William Goode dies at 85
		Sociology Professor Emeritus Morris Zelditch, a lifelong friend and colleague, said Goode was a major contributor to social exchange theory, which was used to explain power exchange phenomena.
		He was studying for his doctorate in sociology at Pennsylvania State University when he enlisted in the Navy as a radarman in 1944.

	Sociology Presentation
		Sociology is the studies of human social relationship and the studies of the social institutions in advance and industrialized societies of the condition of their change (transformation) and what things make them insist of not to change.
		The hierarchical arrangement of occupations or jobs, personal or household income, prestige or status (the positive or negative evaluation attached to a certain kind of social position), education, or subjective class identification (self-consciousness of ones' position in the society), may be transformed into power.
		From his viewpoint, prestige is associated with the style o life of a status group.

		Sociology was strongly supported by notable Protestant clergy, especially those focused on the "social gospel," municipal reformers, and philanthropists who hoped to translate Christian ethics into "scientifically informed" action.
		Sociology had developed strong linkage to the "welfare" state and to the professions that dealt with social problems: social work, social administration, education, and public health.

		Sociology is in or out of fashion largely because it is--in the minds of most students and the public--little more than a reflection of what is fashionable.
		Logically, sociology cannot become scientific if the practice and teaching of sociology are left in the hands of sociologists who deny that it should be scientific.
		Sociology should encourage people to visualize better alternatives but also require that the alternatives be evaluated in a cogent manner.

	Face (social custom) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lian is the confidence of society in a person's moral character, while mianzi represents social perceptions of a person's prestige.
		For a person to maintain face is important with Chinese social relations because face translates into power and influence.
		A very public example of this occurred during the Tiananmen protests of 1989 when Wu'er Kaixi scolded Premier Li Peng for being late to a meeting with the demonstrators, which results in Li's loss of mianzi because he was seen as either tardy or insincere about the meeting.

	Human Rational Behavior and Economic Rationality
		The possible strategies for substantive theory building in sociology can be classified according to various criteria, including rational behavior, individualism, institutionalism, etc. Using economic rationality as a specific criterion for classification, alternative strategies of substantive theory building involve general rational theories, general non-rational theories, and general mixed theories.
		Researchers in sociology and social psychology have been measuring prestige for some time thus making this concept at least an ordinal-level variable, though it is a subjective measure based on group judgments.
		In the preceding I have detected and discussed the peculiar conception of rational behavior in what is putatively rational choice theory in both economics and sociology, and advanced a corrective in the form of a broader definition and conceptualization of rational behavior as both instrumental, economic or individual and non-instrumental, extra-economic or social.

	Volume 11 Number 1 1998
		Students are introduced to the debates in Sociology via a rather conventional chapter on theories and methods (we must not assume real students would actually read this first chapter first, of course).
		Similarly, the brief mention given to the historical development of medical sociology, could have been usefully extended to an account of the tensions which have existed between ‘sociology in medicine’ (sociological research which meets the interests and needs of medicine) and ‘sociology of medicine’ (sociological research which is more critical of medicine) (Strauss, 1957).
		While such reflexivity may not be representative of medical sociology, there are important examples, such as Ahmad (1992, 1993) whose work has elucidated the ways in which racist assumptions are often embedded in medical and sociological research.

	'Caste System' Plagues Academic Depts. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Because judgments of academic prestige are "always to some extent self-referential," Burris writes, the larger a department's extended "kinship" network, the more faculty there will be whose own status claims will be tied to affirming the prestige of that department.
		And because social connections and a reputation for prestige facilitate the job placement of new graduates, highly ranked departments can be assured of reproducing their social capital from one year to the next.
		Departmental prestige rankings therefore tend to be self-perpetuating and have seen very little change since they were instituted in 1925.

	American Journal of Economics and Sociology, The: Social Networks and Prestige Attainment: New Empirical Findings - ...
		From this analysis, I draw two important conclusions: First, the relationship between the prestige of a social network contact and prestige attainment may be empirically strong, but the theoretical explanation linking them lacks consistency.
		Despite the consensus that social networks affect the prestige attainment process, there is still a considerable amount of disagreement about how social networks produce variation in prestige outcomes.
		This procedure is an attempt to determine a parsimonious model of the relationship between prestige attainment and social networks.

	Some Amendments to Social Exchange Theory: A Sociological Perspective
		The task of social exchange theory is then to investigate the reciprocal (mainly material) advantages that individuals draw from their exchange transactions on the premise that they engage in and sustain most social, including noneconomic, relations in the rational expectations of such advantages independently of normative or group considerations.
		Hence, the exchange approach in sociology is described as the “economic analysis of noneconomic social situations” (Emerson, 1976: 336).
		In turn, prestige, influence, and networks of ties are largely a matter of processes in and relations between collectivities, especially status groups and cultural circles, and thus of societal construction and representation.

	Sociology FAQs
		As one of our grad students puts it, "Sociology is the science that states the obvious, which no one knew was obvious until a sociologist pointed it out." In one sense, sociology is about studying rather typical and perhaps even mundane things, such as social norms, friendships, and organizations, to name just a few.
		When sociology professors first start out in their profession, their goal is to get tenure, which basically means they have a guaranteed job for life.
		After a sociology professor gets tenure, s/he will most likely continue to do research and try to get more publications, in addition to large grants from the government or other organizations to do even more research, in an effort to maximize their department's or university's prestige, as well as their own.

		Sociology strength is in its ability to entertain all types of different methods, different theories (world views), and different individuals.
		Paul says, "Sociology strength is in its ability to entertain all types of different methods, different theories (world views), and different individuals." I think that sociology is weakened precisely because sociologists do not propose to link their hypotheses to an underlying, verifiable proposition.
		In terms of Michael's argument that the proper domain of sociology is the investigation is discovery of unique causal factors, not universal determinants: I think that he is inaccurate to suggest that this was the intent of the Masters.
