Female Founder in Sociology: Jane Addams

Abstract

Jane Addams, is the only doctor of sociology that has been associated with the Chicago School of Sociology. The controversial and questionable connection of Addams to this school, because although it was directly related to the school, had some gaps in the way of lecturing at the University, so it could rightly be established that it is an external member of the University. She is known for the establishment of a kind of commune for the lives of homeless people, in which there were all kinds of lives, from cafes, libraries, shops to the rest, and where she wanted to examine the relationship of an individual with his environment in an empirical way emphasizing that the way of organizing social relations is structured by the person from the inside 19. However, Hull House did not just present it, within the framework of this multifunctional house a strong academic activity was taking place, and there were professional sociologists and social workers who studied the ways of life in this orderly community (how adolescent poor existential conditions behave in changed circumstances). Interesting is the approach of a researcher in the field of sociology dealing with the analysis of the relationship with the sociological research of Addams and other representatives of the Chicago sociological school.
