  • The Use and Abuse of Social Science

    Martin BulmerCHAPTERSocial Science and Social Policy2021

    This chapter explores some of the threads from preceding chapters together and to raise general questions for further consideration. A good deal of the recent literature on the social impact of social science research has emphasized the obstacles which exist to its effective utilization. The years between 1933 and 1940 were both exciting and frustrating and divisive for social scientists in Washington. The New Deal made a permanent place for soci…

  • Remembering Michael Banton

    Open AccessMartin BulmerARTICLENations and Nationalism2020References: 8

    Michael Banton was connected with the immediate post-war generation of British sociology from which so many of the founding professors in the discipline in the UK were drawn. In his first year as a student for the BSc (Econ) degree at LSE in 1947–1948, he was taught by Edward Shils, thus providing a link to this influential Anglo-American figure who connected British sociology to figures such as Max Weber, Talcott Parsons and Karl Mannheim (Bulme…

  • Chicago sociology and the empirical impulse

    Martin BulmerCHAPTERTradition of the Chicago School…2019

    This chapter demonstrates the importance of the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago between 1915 and 1935 in blending the empirical impulse with the search for theoretical understanding. The discipline of sociology aims to advance the understanding of society, both past and present - a task which it is extraordinarily difficult to do well. The common element in the Chicago school of sociology, commitment to empirical research, ow…

    This paper provides an overview of this Special Issue celebrating the 40th anniversary of Ethnic and Racial Studies. We discuss some of the themes that are covered in this issue in the context of the wider history of the journal.

  • A singular scholar and writer in a profoundly racist world

    Open AccessMartin BulmerARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies2016Cited by: 2References: 4

    W.E.B. Du Bois was a remarkable pioneer, and Aldon Morris does justice to his career and significance. The nature of the racist world which he inhabited is convincingly evoked, and his claim to be a founding father of American sociology is well argued. Yet in 1910 Du Bois abandoned academia to become the founding editor of the NAACP magazine THE CRISIS, and towards the end of his life four decades later abandoned the USA to live in Ghana. Was Du …

  • Mining and Social Change (Routledge Revivals)

    Martin BulmerBOOKMining and Social Change2015

    The strong community ties of mining villages are the central concern of this book, which deals with the social history and sociology of mining in County Durham in the twentieth century. Focusing on the country as a whole, this title, first published in 1978, asks what is most distinctive about the area in the past and how it is changing in the present. The personal documents presented in the first chapters of the book bring to life the local mini…

  • The Uses of Social Research (Routledge Revivals)

    Martin BulmerBOOKUses of Social Research2015

    The growth and health of the social sciences owe a good deal to the generally held belief that they are socially useful, but is this really so? Do they deliver the goods they promise? In The Uses of Social Research, first published in 1982, Martin Bulmer answers these and other questions concerning the uses of empirical social science in the policy-making process, and provides an extended analysis of the main issues. This title provides a valuabl…

  • The Social Basis of Community Care (Routledge Revivals)

    Martin BulmerBOOKSocial Basis of Community Care…2015

    Care for the elderly, disabled and mentally-ill within and by the community forms a vital part of current social policy. Martin Bulmer argues that this policy is inadequately thought out and rests on a series of poorly founded sociological assumptions. As a result there is a vacuum at the heart of government’s social care policy which is likely to lead to ineffective or deteriorating provision for those in need. This book, first published in 1987…
