Everett Hughes  

Definition

  • Everett Hughes (1897–1983), an American sociologist, was a key figure in the transition period between the classical Chicago School of the 1920s and 1930s and the second Chicago School. A Chicago PhD, Hughes began his career in Canada at McGill University in Montreal (1927–1938), where he had a major, career-long impact on French-and English-language sociology, chiefly via French Canada in Transition (1943), his study of the industrialization of French Quebec by British and American capital during the 1930s.
