Insiders, Outsiders, and the Community College: A Sociology of Knowledge Perspective.
Oromaner, Mark
Research in Higher Education, v21 n2 p226-35 1984
A more comprehensive view of the community college would emerge, it is proposed, if a sociology of knowledge perspective toward analyses of that institution were adopted. Robert K. Merton's discussion of "insiders" and "outsiders" is applied to the often conflicting images of the role of the community college. (Author/MLW)
