On today’s episode, SunAh sits down with Dr. Earl Wright, II, a professor of sociology at Rhodes College and the nation’s leading expert on W.E.B. DuBois and the Atlanta Sociological Laboratory. He discusses the importance of DuBois as well as many other Black sociologists to the field and why their early contributions were, and continue to be, largely excluded from the sociological canon. He draws connections between historic exclusion of Black sociology in the founding of the discipline and the contemporary marginalization of Black scholarship within the field of study.
