Approaches to Diversity Education: A Critical Assessment
The idea that differences in race, gender, religion, sexuality, age - or other categories deemed unworthy of group inclusion shouldn’t matter when it comes to people’s access to all that a society has to offer is central to the teaching of diversity. Diversity courses can be powerful vehicles, not only for teaching students about social change and reclaiming the principles of past and present civil rights leaders, but also for refuting the notion…

Ethical Actions: A Comparison of Individual and Group Recommendations
In order to examine the way ethical decisions are made, we asked ethicists, regulatory officials, and experienced researchers to review a set of scenarios that depict important ethical tensions in research. The method employed was “protocol analysis,” a talk-aloud technique pioneered by cognitive scientists. Each individual was asked to make recommendations for courses of action. Later, we held a focus group of university faculty and staff with e…
Alternative Futures for Applied Sociology
The future of applied sociology is being shaped by a variety of factors including the historical development of the discipline, the institutional context of colleges and universities, and a wide variety of social trends related to the goals and funding of higher education. Five alternative scenarios for the future of applied sociology are set forth: “Down and Out,” “Subfield Status,” “Increasing Focus,” “Ascension of Applied Sociology,” and “Leav…
A Comment on Boeri's Iterative Triangulation
We certainly appreciate this opportunity to return to the important ideas surrounding the place of tri angulation in social science methods, and are especially pleased that the author of Iterative Triangulation found our presentation useful in framing her own fine extension of the arguments. There are at least three clear strengths to Miriam Boeri's paper. It succinctly draws out the main themes of our own recent work, it makes a prima facie case…
Recent Changes in Higher Education and Their Ethical Implications
The shift toward universal access to higher education and the view of higher education as a business have resulted in a dramatically more heterogeneous student body (and, to a lesser degree, a more heterogeneous faculty), increased internal and external pressures for accountability, and the idea of students as consumers. These trends call into question whether or not standards of ethical behavior are shared among the faculty members. By the same …
Factors in the Production of Chairs of Sociology Graduate Departments
The academic department and its chair are essential to successful operation of college or university. Scholars and educators alike agree that department is at core of academic enterprise (Brann and Emmet 1972; McHenry et al. 1977; Fisher 1978; Tucker 1981). As Waltzer put it, department is the place where most teaching, service and research activities go on, where faculty members pursue profes sional and disciplinary interests . . and where stude…

Manifest and Latent, two leading matinee concepts, somehow allowed themselves to be used for this dreary exercise. No matter how hard M and L tried to build suspense with their usual spirited interpretations, they tripped over the banal script. Within the first few minutes all suspense was eliminated, conjecturing about heroes and villains over, and the plot exposed. Surely, such talented troopers as M and L deserve better. A longer trial in the …

Passing on Sociology: The Teaching of a Discipline
The Role of Residential Segregation in the Assimilation Process
The assimilation process and the fact of residential segregation are both major emphases in the literature on race and ethnic relations. For a variety of reasons, however, the tendency has been to neglect their relation to one another. This paper offers an explicit connection between the two. We offer an elaboration of the notion of assimilation and suggest that it can be viewed as a sequential process, beginning with the cultural dimension, proc…

Trends in Residential Segregation: 1960-1970
The literature on racial residential segregation in American metropolitan areas reports contradictory findings on the decade of the sixties. Some researchers have concluded that average scores declined between 1960 and 1970, while other point to evidence of increases. This paper presents tract-based indexes for all 237 SMSAs (and their central cities) in 1970 and a comparable set of indexes for 1960. These are also cross-tabulated against region,…
Measuring Residential Segregation in American Cities Problems of Intercity Comparison
Following the lead of the Taeubers (1965), investigators typically calculate residential segregation scores for American cities using data on city blocks. Such indexes provide summary measures of segregation for cities, and it is no doubt for this reason that they have become so useful in analyzing residential patterns by race. Since the publication of Taeuber and Taeuber’s Negroes in Cities in 1965, residential segregation scores for blacks have…

Residential Segregation in Southern Cities: 1970
The authors construct a regional model of residential segregation in the South, using demographic and socioeconomic variables. Based on an analysis of the age, size, percent black, and occupational and income differentials in 32 southern cities, the findings show that: (1) age is still the strongest predictor of residential segregation; (2) socioeconomic factors need to be examined in their traditional southern context as indicators of residentia…
