Submitted Paper Session: Globalization
and the History of Sociology Organizer: Edward A. Tiryakian, Duke University Chair: George Ritzer, University of Maryland Discussant: Edward A. Tiryakian, Duke University Panelists: Peter Beilharz (Latrobe University) George Ritzer (University of Maryland) Hermann Strasser (University of Duisburg-Essen) Edward A. Tiryakian (Duke University) J.S. Vaillancourt Tekle Woldemikael (Chapman University) "Sociological Theory Encounters in Africa" This panel will address the issue of the relationship between globalization and sociology, especially whether globalization has led, is leading, or will lead to a more global sociology. Clearly, sociology has been global for a long time, perhaps even from its inception (for example Martineau's early translation of some of Comte's ideas into English; Durkheim's early exposure to German ideas). However, most students of globalization see that process as having taken off in the last half century. That leads to the question: Are we now seeing an acceleration of the globalization of sociology; of the development of a more (or a more truly) global sociology. The panel drawn from, and/or with interests in, diverse parts of the globe will discuss and debate these issues from their various vantage points. |
