Harvard s Quixotic Pursuit of a New Science: The Rise and Fall of the Department of Social Relations

Harvards Quixotic Pursuit of a New Science: The Rise and Fall of the Department of Social Relations Famed sociologist Talcott Parsons led some of the most renowned social scientists of the twentieth century to establish a new department for an interdisciplinary science at Harvard.
