Spotted on last night’s episode of University Challenge - 3 questions on French Sociology.  1. Who wrote the book ‘Distinction’? 2. Who was a critic of Marxism and wrote in right wing newspaper Le Figaro? 3. Who founded the French School of Sociology and published ‘The Divsion of Labour’ and ‘Suicide’?

Answers

1. Pierre Bourdieu
2. Raymond Aron
3. Emile Durkheim

By the way, although Sheffield won, it was the team from Magdalen College Oxford who got the questions on sociology. They got 2 out of 3 - missed out on the Raymond Aron question.
