Description

In Episode 5 we’re talking about the contribution that wives have made to the discipline of sociology in the past and how this has helped to shape the sociology of the present.

We’re joined by Lebogang Mokwena, Lecturer in the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Cape Town, and John Goodwin, Professor of Sociology and Sociological Practice at the University of Leicester.

Lebogang’s work intersects cultural and historical sociology, and as well as work on the cultural, economic and global histories of objects, she has studied the early twentieth century career of the sociologist Sol Plaatje.

John has a broad interest in sociology as a craft and skill, and, of particular relevance to this discussion, has researched the sociologies of Pearl Jephcott and C. Wright Mills.
