Talk:Henry Bernstein (sociologist)

The subject of this entry doesn't appear to have a doctorate, and his publications lists only one single-authored book (a slim tome at that). Surely more would be required of a person who is a university prof? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.176.151 (talk) 10:36, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

While this is an old comment, it needs a response. Bernstein is a university prof, at the University of London, at the prestigious SOAS. So your comment on the absence of a PhD and his limited publications (the latter inaccurate) is a problem with your criteria rather than with Prof Bernstein's intellectual standing, which is weighty.

I’m not sure someone at a Management School is qualified to make this judgment in a field so far outside his own. Bernstein has written one – repeat, one – monograph in his whole career, which by any criteria is on the low side. Academics these days begin their university careers, not end them, with a single monograph to their name. When considered in conjunction with an absent doctorate, the point made earlier about the lack of requirements stands, unfortunately. 13 August 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.84.86 (talk) 20:31, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
