Book Introduction
Students and researchers all write under pressure, and those pressures—most lamentably, the desire to impress your audience rather than to communicate with them—often lead to pretentious prose, academic posturing, and, not infrequently, writer’s block.
Sociologist Howard S. Becker has written the classic book on how to conquer these pressures and simply write. First published nearly twenty years ago, Writing for Social Scientists has become a lifesaver for writers in all fields, from beginning students to published authors. Becker’s message is clear: in order to learn how to write, take a deep breath and then begin writing. Revise. Repeat.
It is not always an easy process, as Becker wryly relates. Decades of teaching, researching, and writing have given him plenty of material, and Becker neatly exposes the foibles of academia and its “publish or perish” atmosphere. Wordiness, the passive voice, inserting a “the way in which” when a simple “how” will do—all these mechanisms are a part of the social structure of academic writing. By shrugging off such impediments—or at the very least, putting them aside for a few hours—we can reform our work habits and start writing lucidly without worrying about grades, peer approval, or the “literature.”
In this new edition, Becker takes account of major changes in the computer tools available to writers today, and also substantially expands his analysis of how academic institutions create problems for them. As competition in academia grows increasingly heated, Writing for Social Scientists will provide solace to a new generation of frazzled, would-be writers.

Author Introduction
하워드 S. 베커(지은이)
사회학 분야의 최고 권위자. 1928년 시카고에서 태어난 그는 23세의 나이에 시카고 대학에서 박사학위를 받았으며, 그곳에서 사회학과 사회과학 강사로 활동했다. 이후 25년간 노스웨스턴 대학교 사회학과 교수로 재직했고, 워싱턴 대학교로 적을 옮겨 사회학과 교수 겸 음악학 부교수로 활동하다가 은퇴했다. 그의 학문적 성과는 주로 일탈 사회학, 예술 사회학, 음악 사회학에서 나타난다. 특히 1963년에 출판된 『아웃사이더(Outsiders)』를 통해 유명한 낙인 이론(labelling theory)의 기초를 제공했고, 1982년 출판된 『예술계(Art Worlds)』에서는 예술이 집합 행위의 산물이라는 아이디어를 전개했다. 그 외에도 『학자의 글쓰기(Writing for Social Scientists)』, 『사회에 대해 말하기(Talking About Society)』, 『학계의 술책(Tricks of Trade)』, 『모차르트와 살인은 일탈일까?(What About Mozart? What About Murder?)』 등 10여 권이 넘는 저작을 집필했다. 그는 사회과학 방법론, 학생 문화, 조직 문화, 상징적 상호작용론의 발전에 크게 기여했으며, 이런 공로를 인정받아 학계의 대표적인 상들을 수상했다.
