- Jane Addams referred to herself as a sociologist, but what Addams is remembered for today has little to do either with her reputation as a scholar, or with the sociological articles and books that she wrote for sociological audiences. She is instead remembered for the activities that she regarded as comprising important spheres of application of her professional skills and knowledge, not as the essence of her professional calling, such as acting as a public intellectual in service to the cause of social justice, equality, and social welfare. The sociological community was quite reluctant throughout the twentieth century to acknowledge her status as a professional sociologist and a founder of the discipline. Addams’ recognition as sociologist is closely related to, and in fact inseparable from, the recovery of the sociological identity of her Hull-House. However, gaining a clear understanding of the latter entails sorting out the relationships between sociology and social work, which have remained problematic ever since the two disciplines were separated, as well as acknowledging that Hull-House is an historical site important for the emergence and institutionalization of sociology. After the many works on Addams which have been written from a sense of duty, solidarity, or political correctness, now is the time to look beyond ‘what is the case’ in order to find out ‘what lies behind it.’ The present text addresses important questions in a way that promises to revitalize the discussion and lead it in new directions.
