Summary: Northwestern University professor Aldon Morris [1] discusses W.E.B. Du Bois and the status of his work in the sociological canon. In this special hour-long episode, we explore the ongoing tension between social justice activism and the scientific features of contemporary sociology, especially as it is experienced by many black scholars today. Morris' new book is called The Scholar Denied: W. E. B. Du Bois and the Birth of Modern Sociology [2].
