Description
Summary:Although the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago was never known as a center for sociological theory, major contributions were made in such areas as social disorganization, human ecology and demography, urbanism, professions, institutional development, community organization and development, as well as criminology and deviance. These theoretical contributions did not qualify as grand theory, but all were in the Chicago tradition of theoretically interpretive empirical work. The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods - Chicago-style research at its best - continues that tradition, wherever it is practiced and what ever its specific aims.
