Sociography
Sociography is writing on society, societal sub-divisions and societal patterns, done without first conducting the in-depth study typically required in the academic field of sociology. The term was coined by the Dutch sociologist Sebald Rudolf Steinmetz in 1913. Sociography typically takes the form of loose commentary, although it may also be found as portions of novels that depict life in a given society. Much of the sociography currently in print focuses on society sub-groups, such as ethnic, neighborhood or occupational-geographic groupings. Conflict on scope of the field Some sociographers, such as Patrick Geddes, contend that sociography is more properly considered only as the limited combination of sociology and geography.John Clark"A Social Ecology" (2000) It is unclear whether this would also apply where the sub-society under study is not geographically limited.

Marie Jahoda
Marie Jahoda (26 January 1907 – 28 April 2001) was an Austrian-British social psychologist. Biography Jahoda was born in Vienna to a Jewish merchant's family, and like many other psychologists of her time, grew up in Austria where political oppression against socialists was rampant after Engelbert Dollfuss claimed power. Starting in her adolescent years she became engaged in the Austrian Social Democratic Party in ″Red Vienna.″ This was a major influence on her life. She is (among many others) considered as Grande Dame of European socialism. In 1928, she earned her teaching diploma from the Pedagogical Academy of Vienna, and in 1933 earned her Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology from the University of Vienna. Together with her husband Paul Lazarsfeld and Hans Zeisel, she wrote a now-classic study of the social impact of unemployment on a small community: ''Die Arbeitslosen von Marienthal'' (1932; English ed. 1971 – ''Marienthal: the sociography of an unemployed commun ...
