About this book
Throughout their careers, social scientists must come up with compelling research topics, decide when and where to publish, and revise their manuscripts for publication. Practicing Sociology brings together a range of leading sociologists to reflect on their work and demystify this tacit knowledge.
Author / Editor information
David Stark is Arthur Lehman Professor of Sociology at Columbia University, where he directs the Center on Organizational Innovation. He has studied factory workers in socialist Hungary, new media employees in a Silicon Alley startup, derivative traders on Wall Street, electronic music artists in Berlin, bankers in Budapest, farmers in Nebraska, video game producers, and megachurches that look like shopping malls.
Reviews
Michel Callon, École des mines de Paris:
Practicing Sociology is not a book of epistemology or methodology. Instead, adopting the approach of science studies and drawing on contributions from eminent scholars, it shows the importance of the writing process, from observations to publishable texts. It sends a message that all sociologists should hear: don't think you write what you think, but if all goes well you may end up thinking what you've written and rewritten over and over again.
