{"product_id":"social-knowledge-in-the-making-charles-camic-9780226092096","title":"Social Knowledge in the Making","description":"Over the past quarter century, researchers have successfully explored the inner workings of the physical and biological sciences using a variety of social and historical lenses. Inspired by these advances, the contributors to \u003ci\u003eSocial Knowledge in the Making\u003c\/i\u003e turn their attention to the social sciences, broadly construed. The result is the first comprehensive effort to study and understand the day-to-day activities involved in the creation of social-scientific and related forms of knowledge about the social world. The essays collected here tackle a range of previously unexplored questions about the practices involved in the production, assessment, and use of diverse forms of social knowledge. A stellar cast of multidisciplinary scholars addresses topics such as the changing practices of historical research, anthropological data collection, library usage, peer review, and institutional review boards. Turning to the world beyond the academy, other essays focus on global banks, survey research organizations, and national security and economic policy makers. \u003ci\u003eSocial Knowledge in the Making\u003c\/i\u003e is a landmark volume for a new field of inquiry, and the bold new research agenda it proposes will be welcomed in the social science, the humanities, and a broad range of nonacademic settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Camic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226092097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226092096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Charles Camic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962484019455,"sku":"9780226092096","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_51995bdc-5dd0-422f-ae18-08a7ca59eea3.jpg?v=1750651584","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-knowledge-in-the-making-charles-camic-9780226092096","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
