Dynamic Functionalism
Dynamic Functionalism
Over the last several decades, functional theory in the social sciences has fallen into disfavour. Alleged to be a static form of theory incapable of explaining social change, methodologically impotent and ideologically tainted, functionalism stands accused of being socially and politically reactionary. In this book, Michael Faia challenges the view that functionalism should be rejected. He claims that because functional theories are causal, mult…
Three Sociological Traditions
Selection by Certification
Recent studies of status attainment have relied heavily in the general linear model. In the relationship between status and education, important departures from linearity may occur as a result of certification screening (of preference) by employers; yet many researchers have virtually ignored this process and the possibility that it may serve several functions. Data from the 1977 NORC General Social Survey show that academic certification has a s…
Teaching, Research, and Role Theory
The issue of publish-or-perish is essentially a matter of the complementarity (or lack thereof) of teaching and research roles. Role complementarity is a traditional concern of social psychology, and theories of role complementarity are applicable to the teaching-research relationship. While available evidence shows little objective incompatibility of teaching and research roles, it is possible that misperceptions of incompatibility may act as a …

The Myth of the Liberal Professor
Although social science professors are substantially further left politically than members of other professions, the popular stereotype of the professor has many exceptions. Physical and biological scientists, particularly those living outside the South, often identify with the Republican party and support Republican presidential candidates. A majority of professors describe themselves as being to the right of liberalism-a tendency that seems to …
"A Comment on "Organization Structure and Communications
Professors and Pressure
Although there is an apparent lack of consensus about the nature and sources of 'structural strain' in society, it is shown that the traditions represented by Marx, Durkheim, Merton, Cloward and Ohlin, and several 'status discrepancy' theorists are at least partially reconcilable within the framework of reference group theory and structural balance theory. The resultant model, utilizing the ideas of 'convergence' and 'discrepancy' vis-à-vis a giv…
