SOCIOLOGY AS DISCIPLINE AND AS PROFESSION: A SOCIOLOGICAL SCRATCH FOR EVERY SOCIAL ITCH?

Abstract

The relationship between research pursued in sociology as an academic discipline and sociological research undertaken as a contribution toward social policy formation is a somewhat uneasy one in the USA. The author undertakes to examine the evolving relationship between the disciplinary and professional thrusts of the American sociological enterprise.
