Additional information

My research and teaching interests are in the areas of social stratification, business organisation and sociological theory, but I have also published on social research methods. My main publications include Corporations, Classes and Capitalism (1985), A Matter of Record: Documentary Sources in Social Research (1990), Who Rules Britain? (1991), Social Network Analysis (Second Edition, 2000), Poverty and Wealth (1994), Sociological Theory (1995), Stratification and Power (1996), and Corporate Business and Capitalist Classes (1997), and Power (2001). I recently took over as editor for the third edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Sociology (2005). My latest book is Social Theory: Central Issues in Sociology, an overview of historical and contemporary debates.

 In 2006 a Third Edition of the textbook Sociology (jointly written with James Fulcher) appeared. There is a web site dedicated to this book, with teaching and learning links for students and lecturers. During 2006 three new collections appeared in the Routledge Key Guides series: Sociology: The Key Concepts, Fifty Key Sociologists: The Formative Thinkers, and Fifty Key Sociologists: The Contemporary Thinkers.

 My research interests are in social stratification, economic power, and elites, social network analysis, and social theory. I am working on a treatise on social theory and a study of sociological pioneers Victor Branford and Patrick Geddes, early advocates of the Third Way. Some research materials on the Branford project are available on the project website.
