Golublog: An Anthropology Blog

The Chicago School of Sociology is always something that I’ve wanted to get a better grasp on, but moving to Hawaii has moved this up my priority list. Although many don’t realize it, the sociology department at the University of Hawaii was basically established by University of Chicago Ph.D.s and a lot of the early work on Hawaii’s melting pot and immigrant workers borrowed (in fascinating ways) from the ideas of ecological succession etc. that started in Chicago. I think there may be an article about this somewhere. If not someday I’ll have to write one. Until then, however, this interesting BBC radio program “In The Footsteps of the Chicago Ecologists”:http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/thinkingchicago.shtml will have to tide us over.
