  • The State of Sociology
    Morris, Aldon D.

    Social problems (Berkeley, Calif.), 05/2017, Letnik: 64, Številka: 2
    Journal Article

    A town hall meeting that discussed the state of the American Sociological Association (ASA) and sociology more generally was held during the 2016 ASA meetings in Seattle, Washington. In my remarks, I discussed a number of troubling issues confronting the Association and sociology. I argued that sociology is likely to decrease its relevancy in the coming years because of five interrelated biases: restricted leadership, elitism, internal arrogance, restricted view of human agency, and value neutrality. Below I expand upon these remarks in the hope that a more inclusive ASA can be constructed along with a renewed and more powerful sociological imagination.
