Chicago reprise in the Champagne Years' of Canadian sociology, 1935-1964 / by Thomas Palantzas.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The prominence of the Chicago School as a dominant sociological tradition has frequently been documented as falling roughly between 1920 and the mid-1930s.Undeniably, a scholarly influence left its mark at many university campuses during this period and thereafter, as Chicago graduates and their students took up the task of building new departments.Retracing the limits of this influence in Canada begins with a look at McGill University, whose early reputation as a dominant centre of Instruction and home to the first Department of Sociology beginning in 1925 set the pace for the development of the discipline In this country.The examination undertakes a content and contextual analysis of sociology articles and their McGill authors published in the C anadian Journal o f Econom ics a nd Political Science, and presents findings in support of the argument that a Chicago influence did pervade the sociological thought therein, well into the 1950s.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
