viola klein forgotten emigre intellectual Public Sociologist and advocate of women
Sociology, 2007Co-Authors: Stina E LyonAbstract:This article revisits the much neglected work of Viola Klein, one of the first Sociologists of women in Britain. Her contribution to sociology lies both in her innovative work on patriarchal conceptions of seemingly scientific knowledge about women, undertaken under the tutelage of Karl Mannheim, and in her empirical studies of women's changing position in the labour market. The article places her work in a biographical as well as theoretical context and raises issues about the impact of her triple marginality as a Jewish refugee to Britain, a woman in search of an academic career, and as a Public Sociologist in women's studies, at the time not seen as a mainstream field in sociology, nor uniformly understood by later waves of feminist theorists.

what do Public Sociologists do a critique of burawoy
Canadian Journal of Sociology, 2009Co-Authors: Avi Goldberg, Axel Van Den BergAbstract:Michael Burawoy certainly seems to have the requisite organizational and marketing savvy to be a successful ‘Public Sociologist.’ Preaching from a few well-chosen pulpits, the ASA Presidency first among them, he has almost singlehandedly created a multinational cottage industry busily debating his ideas about the future of our discipline. The responses have been as varied as they have been numerous. While many have been quite critical, the criticisms have originated from a bewildering range of often entirely opposite positions on the ideological-philosophical spectrum, as well as from every imaginable position in between. Burawoy himself takes this multiplicity of position-takings to be evidence for the plausibility of his own ideas about different kinds of sociology and the possibility of a fruitful, collaborative division of labour between them (Burawoy 2007: 246). But we suspect it is more likely simply an expression of the depth and the breadth of our discord concerning the basic question of what we want with our discipline .
