Sociology is in a constant state of identity crisis. It worries about how it compares to other social science disciplines, and often carps at them. It reflects about who its canonical figures, the extent to which it is genuinely inclusive, and also is bound up with intense internal disputes. I argue that Sociology as a professional project depended on being able to link the “question of orderˮ with theories of modernity. However, in recent decades, it has had found it harder to link these two features and therefore struggles to provide a convincing rationale. My chapter therefore pursues the possibility that rather than fixate on Sociology as an academic professional project, we embrace the idea that sociology is fluid and cross-disciplinary, a kind of meeting point for other disciplinary avenues. If we embrace this positive understanding of what sociology is really good at, the institutional effectiveness of sociologists could well be enhanced.
