- Title
Shifting Boundaries: Doing Social Science in the 1990s--A Personal Odyssey.
- Authors
Zola, Irving Kenneth
- Abstract
Drawing on my own 40 years as a social scientist, I argue as have others in recent years, that rather than "a contaminant," one's own biography can be a useful tool in social analysis. I place my personal struggle with this issue in a larger cultural context and point to a shift in the boundaries between public and private, which has profound implications for the way we teach, write, and do research.
