On May 3, 2021, I presented a paper through Zoom in a paper session at the Clute Institute for Academic Research Summer 2020 Virtual Conference. The title of the paper I presented is “Teaching About Fountainheads of Sociology: The Case of Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Du Bois, Wells-Barnett, Addams, and Martineau as Pioneers.” The abstract of my paper is as follows: “This paper examines fountainheads of sociology that include Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Jane Addams, and Harriet Martineau.  It explores the pioneering efforts of Marx, Weber, Durkheim, and their status as the three main fountainheads of sociology. This paper also explores the pioneering efforts of Du Bois, Wells-Barnett, Addams,  Martineau, and their status as four peripheral fountainheads of sociology.  It covers some of the things that are being taught about the sociological contributions of Marx, Weber, and Durkheim. Likewise, it covers some of the things that are taught about the sociological contributions of Du Bois, Wells-Barnett, Addams, and Martineau.  This paper utilizes the case study method and the research technique includes a content analysis of primary and secondary source documents.” This paper was published by In Clute Institute for Academic Research jn its Clute Institute for Academic Research Spring 2021 Virtual Conference Proceedings. It has also been reprinted as the Jeremiah B. Sanderson Leadership Institute Occasional Paper 59.
