How is the process of globalization effecting changes in the structure of knowledge in sociology? This path-breaking volume looks at the human dimension of developments in the discipline by compiling a set of interviews that exemplify the life and work of a sociologist today. Their ideas show to what extent a paradigm shift has taken root, answering questions such as whether sociology still remains a differentiated, relatively autonomous social science. The interviewees have been selected from among professional sociologists with an emphasis on areas that are under-represented in English publications, such as East Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
