Especially what is the historical relation and role of establishing publishing these journals, of the British Sociological Association on the one hand and London School of Economics on the other? And whether there are other institutions having participated to their establishing and early career as social scientific journals.

Abstract The theme of the 2008 meeting of the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology was “Engaging Sociology: Applied Sociology's Past, Present, and Promise.” The theme suggests that applied sociology has a past that is different from the parent discipline of sociology, and given how the history of sociology has come to be taught and remembered, that is an understandable suggestion. The argument of this paper, however, is that the discipline of sociology itself—as it is actually practiced today—originated mainly in applied work, in the work of nineteenth century social reformers whose contributions to the field have been largely forgotten, people such as Francis Galton, Adolphe Quetelet, and Charles Booth. These, I argue, are the Founding Fathers of the discipline as I have practiced it for the past thirty-five years.

Dear Dennis,
thank you for these illuminating articles. I feel they bring me closer to the topic on which I made my question: the history of the founding of the two British journals: 'Sociology' and 'British Journal of Sociology'. Especially, what was the role of The London School Of Economics and The British Sociological Association in establishing and getting published these two journals?
