"Back to the Future: Lessons from Sociology’s
Forgotten History"

Date: Thursday, March 27, 2003

Time: 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Place: American University
Butler Pavilion Board Room - 6th floor

This discussion is based on two of their publications – The
Women Founders: Sociology and Social Theory, 1830-1930 and
"Back to the Future: Settlement Sociology" (forthcoming,
The American Sociologist). From The Women Founders…
“This is a book about social theory and about the history
of sociology. It makes three claims: that women have always
been significantly involved in creating sociology; that women
have always made distinctive and important contribution to
social theory; and that women’s contribution to sociology
and social theory have been written out of the record of the
discipline’s history…” (p.1)
