    Tracing how sociologist Mark Regnerus's intellectual heritage—from his mentor Christian Smith to his own controversial research—has shaped his approach to sociology and influenced his academic descendants.

    Mapping the Regnerus Academic Lineage

    Miglior citazione da Mapping the Regnerus Academic Lineage

    “

    Sometimes the most important thing a mentor passes down isn't a specific theory or method, but an attitude toward knowledge itself—the intellectual courage to pursue rigorous research even when it challenges prevailing orthodoxies.
