107) Presidential Session: Sociology Today: Greater than the Sum of its Parts?
organizer: Roberta Spalter-Roth, American Sociological Association
[Note: There is strong pessimism among some sociologists that we are losing status in the academy because sociology no longer has a core but rather a series of unrelated specialties. Is this the case, especially in institutions of higher education with norms that increasingly support “interdisciplinarity” and entrepreneurship? This session examines the “increased specialization equals low status” argument by investigating the work that sociologists do and the power and relation of specialties in sociology. The three presenters question the core versus specialty dichotomy. Panelists examine what skills, concepts, and specialties sociologists learn in school and what they take with them into positions outside as well as inside professorate. They examine how centrality and specialization can be measured, whether by size, or by patterns of influence, and whether or not crossing specialties and engaging in integrative work promotes breakthroughs in sociology.]
