After tracing the early development of the subject as an intellectual field in empirical and idealist philosophy, evolutionism, socialism, and statistical investigations, Scott lays out the trajectory of sociology as an institutionalised discipline. British Sociology maps the spread of the subject from the first Sociology Department at LSE to cover the whole country. It considers the establishment of significant professionalorganisations and journals, and the impact of feminism and political change. Scott also reviews theoretical engagement with Marxism, interactionism, feminism, and post-structuralism and the development of the discipline through research studies of crime, race and ethnicity, community, stratification, health, sexuality, and work. Set against the backdrop of a changing political context that has seen the growth of neoliberalism and globalisation, and looking forward with the ongoing search for 'new directions,' this useful and original contribution will appeal to both academics and students across sociology, criminology, and the political sciences. .Sociology TransformedSocial sciencesEducational sociologySociologySocial sciencesPhilosophySocial Sciences, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X00000Sociology of Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O29000Sociological Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22060History of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020Social Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22140Great BritainHistorySocial sciences.Educational sociology.Sociology.Social sciencesPhilosophy.Social Sciences, general.Sociology of Education.Sociological Theory.History of Britain and Ireland.Social Theory.301.0941301.0941Scott John1949-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut20057MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910383825703321British Sociology1914873UNINA
