The
first annual culture conference is a major event organized by the Culture
and Society Workshop aimed at building a network of people in Southern
California who are interested in developments in cultural
approaches towards the discipline of
sociology.
Our two
keynote speakers, Michael
Schudson and Paul Lichterman, will discuss their new research. The day
also features a “State of the Discipline” panel, with Rick Biernacki, Steve Epstein, Calvin Morrill, Abigail Saguy, among others, discussing how leading works in
the areas of historical sociology, sociology of law, social movement, and
sociology of science are related to cultural sociology and what their
field means by “making a cultural argument.”
