For most sociologists, their life's work does not end with
retirement. Many professors and practitioners continue to teach,
publish, or explore related activities after leaving academia. They
also connect with others in the field to lessen the isolation they
sometimes feel outside the ivory tower or an applied work setting.
The editors and twenty contributors to the essential anthology
Journeys in Sociology use a life-course perspective to address the
role of sociology in their lives. The power of their personal
experiences-during the Great Depression, World War II, or the
student protests and social movements in the 1960s and '70s-magnify
how and why social change prompted these men and women to study
sociology. Moreover, all of the contributors include a discussion
of their activities in retirement. From Bob Perrucci, Tuck Green,
and Wendell Bell, who write about issues of class, to Debra Kaufman
and Elinore Lurie, who explain how gender played a role in their
careers, the diverse entries in Journeys in Sociology provide a
fascinating look at both the influence of their lives on the
discipline and the discipline on these sociologists' lives.
