As a section editor at Sociology Compass, I have been motivated by concerns expressed by some sociologists about the future of organizational sociology, as discussed on the Work in Progress blog in 2015. Accordingly, I have been commissioning a series of pieces that articulate the contribution of organizational sociology and its relevance to the study of core sociology sociological topics like as race, gender, and inequality, among others. A few of these pieces have been published so far. First, Heather Haveman and Rachel Wetts have published articles here  and here  that address the question “What is organizational sociology?” Elizabeth Gorman and Sarah Mosseri have published an article here that answers the question “Why should students and scholars who are interested in gender difference and inequality study organizations?”
