Disconnect of culture between the Political Science/Sociology and Economics Departments
First, I’d like to admit my ignorance regarding the history of this institution other than my familiarity with work of particular scholars from here.
I am noticing a drastic difference, or even contradiction between the Economic/Law Department and Sociology-adjacent departments in their perspectives on sociopolitical subjects, despite being a relatively small institution.
In simple words, how can a school known for the infamous Chicago School of Economics by Friedman also be known for producing some of the most prominent socialist figures, such as Bernie Sanders and Saul Alinsky, to name a few.
Do forgive me if this is a false correlation. But I am simply curious about the history of the subject matter.
