Howard Becker is a sociologist of international renown whose work I have admired for many years. In addition to providing some information about himself, Howie's home page includes papers on issues ranging from "How I found out what a 'crock' was" to discussions of the possibilities of hypertext media. He also includes links to some of his favourite Web sites.
Chris is a former SFU MA student, now a U of Toronto Ph.D. student, who has amassed an incredible array of links of particular interest to those studying criminology, and who are interested in research methods and research on the internet. Those in criminology should be sure to visit his "Den of Crime" page.
A splendid comprehensive web site compiled and maintained by Dr. Mary Sue Stephenson of the School of Library, Archival and Information studies at the University of British Columbia.
Professor McKie is at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University, and he's put together an amazing collection of links of use to social science researchers. See in particular his Research Resources for the Social Sciences page. Its major problem is that it's a virtual embarassment of riches, but, for window shopping to get some sense of the range of sites that give access to data archives, virtual libraries, news sources, justice sources, Supreme Court decisions, demographic sources, and so on and so on, it can't be beat.
A splendid comprehensive web site for ethics issues, albeit a bit heavily weighted in the bio-ethics domain. But what else is new in the world of ethics?
The CAUT is rather like the Faculty Association of Faculty Associations. They have developed policy papers on many issues, from academic freedom to ethics policy, and inevitably come up with a cogent and provocative analysis of issues.
