The article presents a comment on a previous article that appeared in a previous issue of the Canadian Journal of Sociology. According to the author, the central points of his article were: (a) that an extensive body of ignored research had shown that the methodologies adopted by the original Vertical Mosaic school of thought on elites probably exaggerated the exclusivity of Canadian elites to a considerable degree; (b) that the finding of elite membership that was unrepresentative of the social composition of the population did not indicate a shocking anomaly that demanded immediate remedy. This pattern is referred to in the international literature as the law of increasing disproportion; (c) that, in any case, research conducted using other methodologies, and research conducted since the original publication of The Vertical Mosaic, indicates that the Canadian pattern is in transition. Sociologist Harvey Rich argues that the measures of middle class used in the Vertical Mosaic tradition, and uncritically adopted in author's paper, are far too narrow and would apply to what most would designate as the upper middle class. Consequently, Rich argues that author's guesstimate about the possible proportion of those of working-class origins in the elites was too high. Rich is correct. It is also correct to suggest that author's paper sometimes confused sociologist Wallace Clement's position with sociologist John Porter's position and that its discussion suffered accordingly.

Sociological production is prompted and affected by the major social preoccupations of the society it stems from. This is an inherent feature of the social sciences because those who produce knowledge, in this case sociologists, participate in the society they study. The aim of this article is to highlight the social and historical conditions that are at the root of the production of knowledge in the sociology of sports, and the role the latter has played in the exercise sciences in Quebec. This article is composed of two parts. First, it will try to shed light on the social dynamics that created the sociology of sport. Second, it will try to show that the researchers' problematics and the theoretical traditions they have followed were a part of the power dynamics specific to Quebec society and the field of physical education. Briefly, this paper aims to show that the sociology of sport in Quebec has been shaped by the socio-historical conditions in which it has been created and that, at the same time, it has generated a specific social and academic dynamics.

This article addresses the concern expressed by many within the Pacific Sociological Association in recent years that their regional organization is increasingly seen by Research I University sociologists as no longer meeting their professional needs, thus leading to (a) decreasing rates of membership and participation within, (b) a decline in the amount of high quality professional work associated with, and (c) a diminishment of the professional status of, the PSA. Using data gained from a membership survey of sociologists at the 29 Research I Universities in the Western Region of the United States and Canada, the empirical basis of these claims is examined, and their possible implications explored. The results of this investigation suggest that although PSA membership among faculty members at PhD-granting institutions may have declined somewhat over time, this has occurred for a number of very comprehendible reasons, some associated with but others external to the Pacific Sociological Association as a professional organization. In light of these findings, it is the main recommendation of this paper that the PSA should continue to approach this issue in a careful and reasoned manner, doing what it reasonably can to try to meet the professional needs of Research I University sociologists in the 21st century, but being mindful not to jeopardize what has made the PSA important and attractive to its growing number of other constituencies in recent years.

At ninety-eight (2006), Oswald Hall is Canada's senior, distinguished sociologist. For several decades Dr. Hall's colleagues have acknowledged his abiding ‘contributions to the growth of sociology in Canada and his loyalty to the profession.’ The prime purpose of this paper is to document Dr. Hall's legacy. It begins by briefly looking at Dr. Hall's origins and early training. Then it investigates his graduate and postgraduate education and delves into his varied roles as a teacher, researcher, civil servant, and administrator, as well as his appointments to various advisory bodies, enquiries, boards and associations and concludes with a commentary on Oswald Hall's accomplishments. Throughout the paper, Dr. Hall's major publications are reviewed chronologically. This study does not include Hall's twenty-seven year involvement with the chiropractic profession (1976 to 1998) because that era has been covered extensively in the December 2005 issue of the JCCA.2 Much of the article is based on testimony from colleagues and friends, as well as quotes from some of Hall's unpublished writings and manuscripts. Unpublished Hall quotes are identified in the references by their titles and/or dates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents sociologist Bonnie Fox's comments on author's paper "Family Study in Canada." The paper was about historical change. It questioned how an area of Canadian life that figured so large in the initial sociological enterprise in Canada could later become peripheral to concerns of the few sociologists who ultimately decide which papers are published in the official journal, which topics deserve special issues of that journal. Most texts try to present the "state of the art" at the time of writing. The textbook remains the only place where knowledge in the field is codified and legitimated. It was precisely because most Canadian family sociology textbooks attempt to catalogue all the knowledge in the field that they seemed entirely appropriate for the purpose of establishing how the field has been constructed through the 1980s. Fox's sketch goes a little way toward including a few names of the many Canadian scholars who have made important contributions to the field but whose identities and ideas.

When the notion that Quebec is a distinct society within Canada became the chief object of discord during the Meech Lake constitutional debate, sociologists were offered a golden opportunity to participate in shaping the evolving understandings that Canadians have of their country. But this opportunity was not grasped. This paper evaluates some of the discursive conditions that have produced the apparent indifference of Anglo-Canadian sociologists to this most crucial of sociological questions as it applies to their own country: what is a society? Of particular interest are the general underconceptualization in sociology of "society," and the conceptual confusion that links "society" to "nation," "state," and "country." Canada's political-economic autonomy relative to the United States is quite limited, and Canadian "sense of society" is vague and is challenged from within.

The article focuses on a study on the transformation that occurred in the structure of the family and household in the nineteenth century in Moncton, New Brunswick. In recent years social historians have provided with many new and sometimes startling, insights into conditions of people's lives in the nineteenth century. The study aims at adding to the reconstruction of the past by a case study of Moncton from 1851 to 1871. Specifically, household and family structure in Moncton is examined in order to determine the validity of various theories about effects of industrialization on household structure. In the first part of the paper, researchers briefly review the major theoretical formulations. In the second part, researchers examine these formulations in light of data from Moncton. Sociologists have long recognized the significance of the family as a critical social organization for the transmission of societal values. The family, however, has boundaries that are highly malleable. As researcher Michael Anderson notes, the family can be seen as a recruitment base, selecting new members on the basis of blood or marriage ties and having a limitless potential for expansion. The rationale behind the selective recruitment of family members has long occupied the attention of sociologists.

This ankle examines the Muslim shaping of gender ideology around the veiling practices of immigrant Muslim women in Canada. Women's veiling is often attributed to the mobilization of traditional value, against the universalizing influences of Western culture. This is also a common theme in mainstream sociological studies that conceptualise cultural politics as being split between the global and authentically local. However, the veiling practice can also be understood as part of the transnational dynamics of Muslim claims for cultural authenticity, rather than a locally rooted rejection of Western culture. Archival data and interviews are used to examine the interplay between the global configuration of gender ideology and the local cultural practices of Muslim immigrants. Analyzed in this way, veiling is seen as posing a paradigmatic challenge to the dichotomy of global versus local in sociological theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the sociological research opportunities that can be found in Canada. The Canadian case offers a veritable cornucopia of research opportunities for the American sociologist. Although Canada is similar in many ways to the U.S., it also differs in significant respects. Given that many important variables can be held more or less constant, opportunities for theoretically meaningful research abound. Likewise, implications for policy are plentiful. The rapidly evolving nature of race relations in Canada might well inform discussions in the U.S. Until as late as 1975, Canada's racial minorities were a minuscule proportion of the overall population. After a change in immigration policy, the percentage reached 6.3 percent in 1986; and 11.2 percent in 1996. In the Canadian census, as well as in standard academic discussions, aboriginals are not included with visible minorities. While there is variation in the situation of visible minorities--some are quite prosperous--the situation vis-a-vis aboriginals is otherwise. The figures on poverty, unemployment, life expectancy, incarceration, murder, and so forth are extreme and show only modest signs of improvement. Canada has always been bilingual. Canada is also a bi-religious country. It used to be that Protestants outnumbered Catholics in a pattern somewhat similar to that in the U.S.

Canadian sociologists have tended to conceive of institutional completeness in terms of 'parallel' institutions which either inhibit or serve as alternatives to participation in the institutions of the `broader' society. In this paper we suggest extensions to the notion of institutional completeness by examining the relationship between the organizational style developed by the Jewish, Italian and Greek communities of Montreal and the policies, regulations, and actions implemented by the Quebec state. Through an examination of the factors which fostered or inhibited the development of ethnic day schools in each community we describe the very different forms of institutional completeness in these different communities. Our research also suggests that current relations between these three communities and the Quebec state constitute a new `social contract' in which the state supports the maintenance of ethnic diversity in exchange for compliance with state policy, such as the francisization of community institutions and practices.

Initiated in 1977 with the conference at Radziejowice near Warsaw, the cooperation of the Canadian and Polish social scientists yielded its successive venture which was a seminar of October 10-13, 1979 held at Saint Hypolite near Montreal in one of the research centres of the University of Montreal. The seminar gathered more than twenty Canadian sociologists representing mainly the French-Canadian areas of Montreal and Quebec but it also assembled some social scientists from the English-Canadian regions of Toronto, Vancouver or New Brunswick. The Polish delegation to the conference consisted of ten participants. The seminar was organized owing to the financial assistance ensured by the government of the Province of Quebec. The seminar discussions, being vivid and generally prolonged well beyond the formal time limits of the sessions, revealed a great interest and good understanding of the specific Polish problems on the part of the Canadian sociologists. They were astonished with the Polish sociologists' active participation in the discussions on their colleagues' papers.

This article presents a commentary on a paper by Robert A. Stebbins in a previous issue of The American Sociologist which provided an account of professional and amateur sociology in the U.S. The British organization, Mass Observation existed in a relatively nonintrusive society with (as compared to the U.S.) greater concern for one's own and other people's privacy. Canada and Great Britain may in this respect have more built-in defenses against the risks of some kinds of amateur sociology that the U.S. would have. However, according to the commenter, Stebbins already anticipates this objection by requiring amateurs to be supervised and to start with a certain amount of instruction and proper cautionary comments. By engaging primarily in the use of unobtrusive measures and observations, the amateur will avoid the risks of harm to which Stebbins is already sensitive. The commenter relates that one of the public areas in which he has encouraged such unobtrusive observations is in churches, where the observer in outward appearance is similar to the congregation and hence not seen as an intruder. According to him, he has had a fair amount of experience with undergraduate amateurs of the sort described.

This study aims to contribute to the fields of sociology of education and Canadian sociological teaching. English and French Canadian sociology of education course outlines were systematically analysed in order to assess how national context, language and internal divisions influence the undergraduate teaching of sociology of education. The findings indicate that: (1) identity and national questions are solely discussed in French Canada, (2) English Canada is experiencing a split between mainstream and critical approaches and (3) required readings parallel the national linguistic divide between English and French. In addition, there is no consensual ‘core’ for Canadian sociology of education curriculum and inequality is the most covered topic in the field. Mutual intellectual exchange between English and French sociologists, a relevant discussion about a core in the field and a better integration of under taught topics are proposed to move forward. The implications and significance of these findings are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the future of Anglo-Canadian sociology as a scientific discipline. Several prominent members of the field have speculated on the possible imminent demise of the discipline and point to loss of identity and autonomy as the primary cause. The author examines the issue thoroughly, concluding that the direction of Anglo-Canadian sociology lies in the professional attitudes and activities of its members. Suggestions for future avenues of sociological research and activity are provided.

Discusses the contribution made by sociologists and economists to the study of the changing structure of income inequality in Canada and the U.S. Argument of sociologists Barry Bluestone and Bennett Harrison (1982) on the wage distribution generated by the technical division of labor characteristic of mature industrial societies; Relationship of the changes in the structure of income inequality with observable changes in class structure; Role of unions and bargaining systems in the studies of wage structures.

Arthur K. Davis was President of the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association in 1975–1976 and in 1995 received the association's Outstanding Contribution award. In Canada, he was particularly known for his article on “Canadian Society and History as Hinterland Versus Metropolis,” originally published in Ossenberg's anthology of 1971. This article was frequently cited from 1972–1994 and was reprinted a number of times. Davis was also known for his articles on Thorstein Veblen, which continue to receive citation. Davis' career merits careful study for at least two reasons. The first is that he was a Ph.D. product of the early Harvard sociology graduate program, which has received much less attention than it deserves from sociological historians (unlike the Chicago School). As such, Davis studied under of Talcott Parsons, Pitirim Sorokin, and Robert K. Merton. The second reason is that Davis' career clearly illustrates the usefulness of Robert W. Friedrichs' distinction between the priestly and prophetic roles that sociologists may fulfill. Davis' career started under the influence of a priestly orientation (as symbolized by his doctoral supervisor Talcott Parsons) and then gravitated to a prophetic stance as influenced by Pitirim Sorokin, Paul M. Sweezy, and, more distantly, by Marx and Veblen. Since this transition took place just when the Cold War was falling, his career reveals some of the pitfalls that await the prophetic sociologist in times that favor security and conservatism rather than activism and change.

The article features Canadian sociologist John Porter. Each year between 1956 and 1968 at the annual meetings of the American Sociological Association they announced the winner of the MacIver Award, the honor given to the author of the book judged to be the most important work published during the previous year. In 1966, something happened at the announcement ceremony that had never occurred before and did not happen again for the duration of the award: it was given to a Canadian author for a book written about Canada. The author was John Porter of Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. The book was The Vertical Mosaic: An Analysis of Class and Power in Canada. John Porter went on to become Canada's most famous English-language sociologist and TVM became the most important and famous book in the history of Canadian sociology. John Arthur Porter was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1921, the second of three children of Arthur Porter, an accountant, and Ethel Cuffin, a former schoolteacher. Porter was a highly productive researcher who throughout his career focused his scholarly, political, and administrative attention on a handful of key questions. TVM is clearly the most famous and influential of the , but there were others as well: Occupational Prestige in Canada, Towards 2000, Does Money Matter?, the McInnis Lectures, Stations and Callings, and Ascription and Achievement.

Recently, there have been calls from several Canadian sociologists to make sociology more relevant to contemporary events in Canada, as of January 1, 1997. This article examines certain features of current social reforms, and it considers their implications for Canadian sociology. The topic of particular concern is the nexus of labor market restructuring and the restructuring of the welfare state, in which increased unemployment is followed by cuts to income protection for the unemployed. Canadian political economy, which had correctly identified the salience of this problem, is described as being at a crossroads with no obvious civic role today. It is, therefore, recommended that sociologists should pay more attention to the micro-social effects of macro-social events, and especially to the unintended consequences of program changes.

This article discusses the symposium of "Canadian Journal of Sociology." The symposium was a fascinating and rich spectrum of views and insights with each analysis of social scientists pointing to different sins of omission and commission, as well as gratifying confirmation of the analysis. An advocate of the role of human agency in making history, sociologist Rianne Mahon urges a break with determinist and purely structural explanations of Canadian history. She praises the book of sociologist Gordon Laxer for freeing the period of initial industrialization from determinist explanation. There is one serious omission in sociologist Laxer's analysis as the state capacity is not fully brought up by in his analysis. While comparing the economic policies of Canada, Laxer switches to the comparisons between the U.S. and Canada in some instances because of direct American influences on Canadian debates.

The article examines the changing image of sociology within the English-speaking Canadian academic community and the society at large. Harold Innis, a sociologist, played the key role in pulling sociology out of its isolated position within the Canadian academic community. Within the University of Toronto in Ontario, the type of sociology expounded by C.W.M Hart, a teacher aroused in academic circles strong antagonisms. Sociology, with Hart as a teacher, did not suffer from being ignored. It came rather to be viewed as a threat. Hart was a great teacher, who built about himself a number of devoted students, but unfortunately his difficulty in getting along with people led many persons in the university to associate their feelings toward him with their attitude to sociology. The stereotype of American sociology as a discipline concerned only with the gathering of useless facts persisted throughout the Canadian academic community, in Toronto as elsewhere. Before the decade of the 1950s came to an end, something of a community of sociologists was beginning to emerge in Canada, and sociology was coming close to establishing itself as a respectable discipline within the Canadian academic community.

The article highlights issues related to sociology in Canada. The generally accepted view of how sociology is constituted as a science commits to procedures, which subsume the regional and local. Methods, such as the construction of typologies, are made use of in recovering from the distinctive local settings attributes, which can be arrayed conceptually in an abstract formal space. frameworks of "theory". The methodological procedures devised by sociologists and presented in standard introductory texts on "methods" are designed to constitute data in such a way that distinctive local and individual features and the characteristic ways in which social phenomena are embedded in and integral to a social organization of local settings become contingent and accidental properties which must be stripped away conceptually. Ethnographic research in sociology provides the endemic problems of its "generalizability." black males throughout the urban United States?" The work of ethnomethodologists seeks also its invariant practices, its forms of law-like statements, while repudiating the established methods of arriving at them.

The article focuses on Canadian Sociologists and their contribution to Canadian society. Given the fact of a distinctly American flavor in Canadian sociology, and often American interpretation of Canadian issues, it might be argued that this situation is an excellent example of the crucial interlacing of economic power and ideational power. The convergence of theoretical orientations of mainstream Anglophone Canadian sociologists and U.S. sociologists cannot be explained solely in terms of its colonial status vis-a-vis the U.S., for the Quebec nation is as much a part of the "maple leaf colony" as the rest of Canada, yet Quebec sociology is not the replica of U.S. sociology the way Anglophone Canadian sociology is. In so far as mainstream Anglophone Canadian sociologists have used this situation as a convenient excuse for not developing and sharpening theoretical tools relevant to the critical understanding of their society, they share some of the blame for the Americanization process. This variety of "academic" sociology is chiefly concerned with men and groups and social institutions as they are influenced by or integrated into the going social order and undermines theoretical development and conceptualization.

Sociologists have long been interested in the possible effects of extra-legal attributes of offenders on the administration of the criminal law. One such attribute- race- has been the subject of a number of empirical investigations. It is reported that African American youth were more frequently stopped and interrogated by patrolmen and usually were given more severe dispositions for the same violations compared to white youth. The article analyzes the racial discrimination by the law enforcing agencies in Canada. It is found when the legal variables of a number of previous offenses and seriousness of offense were controlled. African American juveniles were still more likely than Whites to receive more severe dispositions. It is concluded that African American prisoners received sentences significantly different from those given to white prisoners when certain other factors such as type of offence and plea were controlled. Recent theoretical work, applying a conflict approach to the examination of criminal justice administration, may help to place the empirical work reviewed above in a somewhat larger perspective. It has been argued that a consequence of the unequal ability of members of different social classes to reward the legal system is that at every step of the legal process the lower class person is more likely to feel the sting of the law enforcement process.

The article represents the prevailing methodological position regarding the relationship of national identification and the development of sociological knowledge in Canada. Canadian sociology cannot be content to investigate the factors that have contributed to the sheer survival of the nation, but must go on to discover the complex web of economic, political, and cultural domination which has aborted the birth of an independent Canadian nation. It would appear that functionalism continues to influence a good number of sociologists in Canada. In the Canadian context functional theory easily translates into some form of the now familiar ideology of continentalism. in this view, Canada and the United States are by history and culture joined in a mutually beneficial arrangement that enables both countries to achieve high levels of industrial prosperity. The other wing of the "old" sociology, abstracted empiricism, has also been an inhibiting force on Canadian social science. It is today easy to denounce blatant empiricism as a hindrance to Canadian sociology since it is abrogated, if unofficially, in many professional circles on both sides of the border.

The article discusses the social mobility in Canada. Studies of social mobility in Canada would seem familiar and easily comprehensible to American readers; the basic methodologies and approaches are the same. What differs is the response to distinctive elements and problems within Canadian society and the exploitation of unique research opportunities that Canada presents. For example, studies of the elite are more feasible in a smaller nation since their number is small and manageable, and so swift progress in this area has been made in Canada. Beyond these kinds of differences, a high priority has also been given to the study of social mobility and social stratification. It is in the latter area that one of the first high quality books of readings on a specialized topic was produced. One of the best of the upper year textbooks in Canada deals with social mobility. The reason for this emphasis is not that social stratification or restrictions in mobility are felt to be a greater social problem in Canada; rather it is because a significant minority of Canadian sociologists has had British rather than American training and in Great Britain a high priority has always been given to studies of mobility and stratification. This British tradition is clearly evident in the work of the sociologist John Porter, whose 1965 book "The Vertical Mosaic," quickly became and still remains the dominant work in Canadian sociology.
