John Levi Martin is the Florence Borchert Bartling Professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago. He is the author of Social Structures, The Explanation of Social Action, and Thinking Through Theory.
"Thinking Through Methods offers an incisive introduction to social
research methods. Methods textbooks are too often a bit stodgy.
This book is anything but dull. It's irreverent and entertaining,
full of examples of good and bad research. Novice and experienced
researchers alike will come away with strategies to avoid common
mistakes. I look forward to assigning it in both undergraduate and
graduate methods courses."-- "Elizabeth Armstrong, University of
Michigan"
"Martin is always original. Thinking Through Methods combines a
hard-nosed commitment to scholarly ideals with an endless array of
provocative and clever things to say. This is a very creative work
on sociological methods and there is enormous wisdom to be found in
it."-- "Jeremy Freese, Stanford University"
