Founding the European Academy of Sociology: Origins, Visionaries, and Early Fellows
In 2000, a small group of initiators led by Peter Abell, Siegwart Lindenberg and Peter Hedström started the EAS initiative. During 2001 and 2002, the group was extended, and the idea was further developed. This led to the official announcement of the EAS in the 2002 September issues of European Sociological Review with Raymond Boudon as Founding President. In addition, Sir Ralf Dahrendorf, Professor Gudmund Hernes, Professor Gordon Marshall, and Professor Robert Merton were the honorary fellows at that time. The other 23 regular fellows can be found in the initial publication.
