The Rise and Fall of Two Outstanding Progressives of American Social Sciences (1880s–1930s): A Critical Focus on R.T. Ely and A.W. Small

Résumé

This article examines why the ideas and methods pioneered by R.T. Ely and A.W. Small did not take long-term root between 1880 and 1930, at a time when both scholars were at the forefront of American social sciences. They experienced a gradual decline in the production of academic ideas, which prevented them from remaining ‘moral entrepreneurs’ within their field. By analyzing the evolution of the support (intellectual, relational and institutional) available to Ely and Small we argue that their loss of status as ‘moral entrepreneurs’ did not reflect deficiencies in their scientific research, but was instead the consequence of their inability to harness the support in order to entrench a specific, enduring research norm.
