(Re)Visiting Classical Sociological Theory – Spring 2026 Schedule

In this series, each month we will revisit (or perhaps visit for the first time) one of these articles, unpack its historical significance, and discuss its impact on subsequent and contemporary scholarship within and outside of the discipline. A faculty member whose work engages with the article or its subdiscipline will introduce it, discuss its contributions in the context of its era of publication, and chart its legacy on scholarship through the decades before transitioning to group discussion. Attendees are not required (but would benefit from) reading the article and are encouraged to consider how it may have influenced their own work. All will leave the seminar edified with a classic under their belt.
