We argue that empirical sociology would benefit from a greater engagement with critical race theory (CRT). In this introduction, we outline four steps to the empirical application of CRT in sociology: (1) understanding that social science is not value neutral, (2) using CRT to inform research design and methodology, (3) investigating racism at multiple levels of analysis, and (4) empirical data and analysis should uncover the relational aspect to racism. The studies in this special issue demonstrate how CRT and social science cross empirical boundaries in fruitful collaboration to document the reproduction of racism in the 21st century.

Geologic Condition

The Anthropocene has emerged in philosophy and social science as a geologic condition with radical consequence for humankind, and thus, for the social institutions that support it, such as higher education. This essay introduces the special issue by outlining some of the possibilities made available for social/philosophical research about higher education when the Anthropocene is taken seriously as an analytic tool. We provide a patchwork of discussions that attempt to sketch out different ways to consider the Anthropocene as both context and concept for the study of higher education. We conclude the essay with brief introductory remarks about the articles collected for this special issue dedicated to “The Anthropocene and Higher Education.”

This chapter begins by providing a historical context for the Millennial generation. Growing up is different in the 21st century than before; it takes much longer. Given how many years youth take to explore their identities before they emerge into adulthood with stable jobs and committed partners, the chapter reviews what we now about “emerging adulthood” as a stage of human development. The chapter also highlights a debate in social science as to whether Millennials are entitled narcissists or a new civically engaged generation that will re-energize America. The chapter concludes with an overview of another debate, whether Millennials are pushing the gender revolution forward or returning to more traditional beliefs.

Resumo: Como parte do dossiê “Antropologias do Trabalho: Desafios Latino-Americanos”, apresentamos a entrevista realizada com o professor da UFPR, Jaime dos Santos Junior que, refletindo sobre sua trajetória biográfica e acadêmica, ressalta a importância de uma Ciência Social atenta às “zonas cinzentas” dos mundos do trabalho, convidando a um olhar para os interstícios e os não-ditos. Suas pesquisas sobre trabalhadores do corte de cana em Sergipe, sobre operários migrantes no ABC paulista ou, ainda, memórias operárias relacionados à ciclos de greves em Pernambuco e São Paulo – realizadas sempre em interlocução com uma rede de pesquisadoras e pesquisadores – destacam a importância do estudo do cotidiano. A interpretação do cotidiano, no trajeto intelectual de Jaime, sugere uma atenção sociológica complexa para as resistências, as configurações familiares, os movimentos sociais, relações patronais, entre outros fenômenos. A narrativa do entrevistado enfatiza um esforço de propor uma sociologia do trabalho “que não quer ser apenas uma sociologia da denúncia.”Palavras-chave: Antropologia do Trabalho; Trajetória Intelectual; Setor Sucroalcooleiro; Memória Operária  THE FORGOTTEN DIMENSION OF WORK:INTERVIEW WITH JAIME SANTOS JÚNIORAbstract: As part of the special issue “Anthropologies of Work: Latin-American challenges” we present the interview with professor Jaime Santos Junior of Federal University of Paraná. He speaks about his intellectual and biographical trajectory highlighting the importance of a social science who looks to the “grey areas” of the worlds of work: the unspoken and the interstitial. His researches about cane workers in Sergipe, migrant workers in “ABC Paulista”, or even worker’s memories of strikes cycles in Pernambuco and São Paulo evidence the importance of study the quotidian. The interpretations of the ordinary life in the intellectual path of professor Jaime suggest a complex sociological attention to resistances, family settings, social movements, employer relations and other phenomena. The interviewee’s narrative emphasizes and effort of propose a sociology of work that “don’t want to be just a sociology of denunciation”.Keywords: Anthropology of Work. Intellectual Trajectory.
