Looking back over the last 60 years of sociology in the UK, this book
addresses the question of progress in the discipline. Campbell's
critical and autobiographical reflections offer fresh insights into the
history of sociology, and engages with the notion of academic
reputation, how it is measured, and what it can tell us about scholarly
progress.
Has Sociology Progressed? will be of special interest to all
sociologists and would-be sociologists interested in the past, present
and future of their discipline, as well as scholars contemplating
academic progress and motivation in general.
