Hi All, Just thought some of you might want to check out the Chronicle Review from this past week. I haven't seen it yet, but my dean tells me it was devoted to an assessment of the discipline of Sociology.
Should make for interesting reading/discussion so I'm picking up a copy later this week. Also, the article, "The Visions and Divisions of Sociology," is available online at this address: http://chronicle.com/temp/email.php?id=30ns8dnv1ebr2ypgsx3v5ioz79o1y8bi Happy travels for the folks going to ASA.
