Sociology and Public Relations Today: Annotated Bibliography of Recent and Significant Sociological Research of Import to Public Relations Practitioners

By Shara Toursh Pavlow

Underwritten by a generous grant from General Motors

This bibliography consists of recent sociological research, reviews, and theoretical works that bear upon the work of public relations practitioners. Most items in this list have been published within the last ten years and have been culled from scholarly journals in anthropology or are public relations articles that draw heavily upon anthropological research (no claim to representativeness, however, is made). It is hoped that this list will promote integrated research between sociologists and public relations practitioners.
