Journeys Through Sociology: Yoshimichi Sato
In this interview Dr. Yoshimichi Sato (Tohoku University, Japan) emphasizes the power of quantitative sociology for making sense of social "puzzles", while also stressing the need to supplement quantitative analysis with qualitative approaches and knowledge of the local and national contexts being studied. He also discusses his own path to sociology and he was drawn to it as a way of addressing inequalities and understanding various forms of stratification. This is part of a series of interviews with the 22 members of the Executive Committee of the International Sociological Association (ISA).
