This book offers an original and rounded examination of the origin
and sociological contributions of one of the most significant, yet
continuously ignored, programs of social science research ever
established in the United States: the Atlanta Sociological
Laboratory. Under the leadership of W.E.B. Du Bois, this unit at
Atlanta University made extensive contributions to the discipline
which, as the author demonstrates, extend beyond 'race studies' to
include founding the first American school of sociology,
establishing the first program of urban sociological research,
conducting the first sociological study on religion in the United
States, and developing methodological advances that remain in use
today. However, all of these accomplishments have subsequently been
attributed, erroneously, to White sociologists at predominately
White institutions, while the Atlanta Sociological Laboratory
remains sociologically ignored and marginalized. Placing the
achievements of the Du Bois led Atlanta Sociological Laboratory in
context, the author contends that American Jim Crow racism and
segregation caused the school to become marginalized and ignored
instead of becoming recognized as one the most significant early
departments of sociology in the United States. Illuminating the
sociological activities - and marginalization - of a group of
African American scholars from a small African American institution
of higher learning in the Deep South - whose works deserve to be
canonized alongside those of their late nineteenth and early
twentieth century peers - this book will appeal to all scholars
with interests in the history of sociology and its development as a
discipline, race and ethnicity, research methodology, the sociology
of the south, and urban sociology.
What to Expect and How to Respond offers a solutions oriented
glimpse into life in academia from the vantage point of groups
including students, faculty and administrators. This
interdisciplinary anthology provides insight into the profession
for graduate students planning on becoming academics; brings to the
attention of junior faculty potential tenure and promotion pitfalls
as well as strategies to successfully overcome potential obstacles;
offers senior faculty strategies to improve collegiality and the
workplace environment; and provides administrators with tools to
proactively and effectively contend with sensitive managerial
matters. This interdisciplinary anthology is useful for
undergraduate and graduate students of any discipline designed to
prepare them for a career in academia whether as staff, faculty or
an administrator. Moreover, this volume is a fine resource for
those already in academia who may be experiencing any one or number
of specific challenges highlighted from which useful survival
strategies could be garnered.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Black Sociology provides the most
up to date exploration and analysis of research focused on Blacks
in America. Beginning with an examination of the project of Black
Sociology, it offers studies of recent events, including the 'Stand

Future Directions, this timely volume brings together the latest

physical condition of Blacks in America, and proposes directions
for important future research. The Ashgate Research Companion will
appeal to policy makers and scholars of Africana Studies,
Sociology, Cultural Studies, Anthropology and Politics, with
interests in questions of race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality,
social inequalities, health and education.

Sociology and Hip Hop: An Anthology provides students with a
carefully curated selection of articles that explore human behavior
and society through a variety of scholarly lenses crafted by hip
hop-influenced academics. The anthology acknowledges the influence
of hip hop on pop culture through music, fashion, dance, art, and
more, and demonstrates how sociologists can better explain their
work and research through hip hop. The anthology is organized into
four distinct parts. The readings in Part I confront stereotypes
generally associated with hip hop and provide readers with a
greater understanding of the international impact and relevance of
hip hop. Part II includes articles that demonstrate the ways in
which hip hop culture and art are practiced in countries outside of
the United States. In Part III, students read about the
participation of women and members of the LGBTQ community in hip
hop. The final part of the anthology speaks to hip hop as
resistance and features readings that underscore the use of hip hop
in contemporary social movements and activism. Designed to help
readers understand the usefulness of hip hop within the discipline,
Sociology and Hip Hop is an ideal resource for courses and programs
in sociology.
