A sociologist among the spirits

journal contribution
posted on 2019-01-01, 00:00 authored by Andrew SingletonAndrew Singleton
This article is an academic autobiography of Andrew Singleton, an Australian sociologist of religion whose work focuses on applied, mixed-methods
studies of youth religion, religious belief and new religious movements.
It starts with a sociology of religion class, describes graduate research
that utilised qualitative methods, and post-doctoral work in quantitative methods, and then concludes by discussing recent mixed-methods
projects. The career arc of an academic is shaped by the legacy of earlier
scholars in the field, key mentors, opportunities for research support and
collaborators. The article emphasises the role and importance of these factors in forming an individual’s professional profile and the kind of scholarship they produce.
