Annual Review of Sociology

Volume 49, 2023

Life's Work: History, Biography, and Ideas

Abstract

Part personal autobiography, part intellectual history, this article offers lessons from a long career, reflections on my sociological contributions, and an account of how major social changes shaped my trajectory and made me the sociologist I am. I also offer an assessment of some of my central ideas and some new suggestions about how to understand culture.
