Social Research, Funding Sources and Social Prognostication in the History of Sociology

Regular Session.

Abstract. To what extent have the sources of funding influenced the development of research techniques? Many studies have been conducted on the relationship between resources and research topics, much less on the methodological consequences, especially outside the US.

The session intends to deepen the analysis of this link, stimulating researchers to present the evolution over time of different national situations: which were the main funding channels? what were the characteristics of the research funded?
