In the first biography of this important figure, Rick Helmes-Hayes provides a detailed account of Porter's life and an in-depth assessment of his extensive writings on class, power, educational opportunity, social mobility, and democracy.While assessing Porter's place in the historical development of Canadian social science, Helmes-Hayes also examines the economic, social, political and scholarly circumstances - including the Depression, World War II, post-war reconstruction, the baby boom, and the growth of universities - that contoured Porter's political and academic views. Using extensive archival research, correspondence, and over fifty original interviews with family, colleagues, and friends, Measuring the Mosaic stresses Porter's remarkable contributions as a scholar, academic statesman, senior administrator at Carleton University, and engaged, practical public intellectual. 606 $aSociology$zCanada 606 $aSociologists$zCanada$vBiography 607 $aOttawa (Ont.)$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSociology 615 0$aSociologists 676 $a301.092 700 $aHelmes-Hayes$b Richard C.$f1951-$0901405 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458375903321 996 $aMeasuring the Mosaic$92014805 997 $aUNINA
