Courses Taught by Mead at the University of Chicago

Adapted from Appendices 1 & 2 of American Sociology and Pragmatism: Mead, Chicago Sociology and Symbolic Interaction by J. David Lewis and Richard L. Smith (Chicago: University of Chicago) 1980: 262-285 There is reason to suspect that these tables may not be complete. The University Register, the course catalog for the University of Chicago lists course taught be Mead in the Psychology Department that do not appear to be listed here. We know of at least on student, Julia Hammond (MA Sociology) who does not appear on the list but has contributed course notes to the Mead Papers at the University of Chicago Library. We are in the process of defining the scope of the problem (December 2003).
