Please note: The biographies on this page are historical artifacts. Written over the history of the American Sociological Association, they may use language and normalize social science perspectives that we now see as objectionable. Led by a committee of ASA members, we are in the process of rewriting these biographies, and we will highlight the newly revised bios as they are added to this page. If you are interested in learning more about this project read the Open Call for ASA Online Presidential Biographies or contact us at [email protected].
