  From Sociological Illiteracy to Sociological Imagination

  By JUDITH SHAPIRO
  
      At one point in the mid-1980's, when I was teaching at
  Bryn Mawr College, I started paying attention to a common
  phrase, repeated like a mantra by students there and
  elsewhere: "Racism, sexism, and classism." I had heard the
  phrase so often that I had become quite used to it, but it
  suddenly struck me as odd.  
  
  Judith Shapiro, a cultural anthropologist, is president of
  Barnard College.
