Most of us have heard or proffered our own more-or-less convincing answers to this question, whether it be in the classroom, in conference presentations, or in animated conversations at the hotel bar at the end of the day of a typical ASR annual meeting. Given the fact that sociology at large is such a big tent discipline, it is not surprising that the range of answers to the question exhibits considerable variation. Nonetheless, to the extent that we manage to speak to each other as sociologists, our differences are contained within a general shared sense of what the collective enterprise is about. |
