Please excuse if I notice perhaps a trend. Is it slam-the-sociologist week?
"I'm reminded of a statement by a sociological colleague who noted that there were many of his discipline who were actively publishing the same-old-same-old using different terminology in the hope that they would reap an evanescent glory by having someone cite their label." - Dave
Either please quote where this slanderous statement is printed or dilute the defamation towards sociological unoriginality. Surely there are many respectable scholars whose teacher-based education distinguishes them from those with a research-based education, wherein restating what has already been said in a concise and coherent manner is appropriate and worthy of honour. 'Publish or perish' is not merely a physics PhD's premonition.
Surely we need more sociologists of ethics too?!
