Examining the general history of US sociological research methods,
this text aims to provide systematic archival, documentary and
interview data which question many conventional views, and thereby
raise wider issues of method in the history of ideas. Special
attention is paid to commonly neglected themes: case-study method
and the Lundberg circle, for example. Jennifer Platt discusses the
production of methodological writing, showing that neither it nor
theoretical work adequately describe research practice. She also
investigates the dominance of scientism, and the impact of research
funding. The book evaluates the significance of schools of thought
and suggests that processes of social construction and memory lead
to uneven emphases in the folk history of the discipline. This
study attempts to develop understanding both of the history of
social thought, and the settings in which social research is
produced.
