A while back Del suggested that we spend more time in intro soc classes with breakthroughs in sociology. He and I have been emailing back and forth discussing this and I wondered if a possible sociological breakthrough might have been on May 17, 1954 when the Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. Board of Education, Topeka, KS that educational segregation was unconstitutional. And most importantly, Thurgood Marshall cited sociological research in his presentation to the high court. Would that constitute a sociological breakthrough? The power of sociology to effect social change has always been a goal of the discipline but where does it stand today in that regard? > I would love to hear people's comments on this. >
