Trace the development of sociology as an academic discipline in North America from the late 1800s until the mid 20th century
What will be an ideal response?
Sociology first took root at the University of Kansas in 1890 followed by the University of Chicago in 1892 and Atlanta University in 1897. The first actual sociology curriculum was credited as being established at the University of Chicago, primarily due to the tremendous social change that Chicago was experiencing. Sociology did not cross the border into Canada until 1922, when it was adopted at McGill University. Some prestigious universities in America did not adopt sociology for a number of years (Harvard in 1930 and the University of California at Berkeley in the 1950s). Although the University of Chicago was actually the second American university to adopt sociology, it had the greatest impact in shaping the discipline as it is practiced and taught in American society.
