Summary

This chapter introduces the reader to settlement sociology, a school that grew out of one of the most radical inventions of the Progressive Era (1880–1920) – the social settlements. We develop our analysis of this school of sociology in two parts: one, the invention of the social settlement as a response to witnessing human pain; two, the development of settlement sociology as a system of theory, research, and advocacy whose project was to understand and reform the structures that produced this pain. The chapter explicates this theory in terms of key concepts from the work of Jane Addams (1860–1935) and Robert A. Woods (1865–1925) – disconnection, the neighborly relation, the power to combine, ethics, belated ethics, and the social ethic. It overviews the extraordinary body of research the settlements produced following this theory.
