Doubly Engaged Social Science

Social science achieves its potential and proves its worth as a human enterprise when it offers "substantive enlightenment ... about the social structures in which we are enmeshed and which largely condition the course of our lives," declared Lewis Coser (1975, p. 698) in his 1975 presidential address to the American Sociological Association. As Coser articulated this demanding standard, U.S. social science was not only caught up in the social upheavals triggered by "the sixties." It was also in the early stages of what was to become a remarkable renascence of comparative and historical scholarship engaging big questions about social change and politics.
