“…Centering requires the actions of intellectual sponsors , acting alone or in groups. Intellectual sponsors are those individuals who invest resources in promoting the career of intellectual figures (Ruiz‐Junco and Brossard 2019). An intellectual sponsor can use citations or other forms of intellectual acknowledgement, or even promote the work of an intellectual figure even further by embracing several of their ideas in their work, or through special academic or extra‐academic events (Brossard and Ruiz‐Junco 2020).…”

Recent scholarship explores the relevance and canonical status of W. E. B. Du Bois in sociological theory; yet less is said about his contributions to symbolic interactionism. This paper interrogates the emerging meaning of W. E. B. Du Bois for sociology, and the nature of his canonical incorporation. We explore the less “official” dimensions of Du Boisian theory, and in particular two of his contributions to symbolic interactionism: double consciousness and autoethnography. In the last part of the paper, we suggest that Du Bois's incorporation into the sociological canon can be viewed as a process of “centering,” and argue that this form of sponsoring of Du Bois's work can elevate some interpretations of Du Bois to the detriment of others.

“…He refused the distinction between sociology, social psychology and psychology in the same way he refused to study separately the ‘individual’ and ‘society’: ‘A separate individual is an abstraction unknown to experience, and so likewise is society when regarded as something apart from individuals’ (Cooley, 1992 [1902]: 36). Interestingly, Cooley’s legacy has both benefited from this cross-disciplinary perspective, he is considered a pioneer in sociology and in social psychology, but has also been partly forgotten in the politics of disciplinary distinction (Ruiz-Junco and Brossard, 2019).…”

This article is the introduction to the special issue ‘Sociology and psychology: what intersections?’ In addition to presenting the articles included in this issue, the present text outlines the general stakes of interdisciplinarity between psychology and sociology. It argues that interdisciplinarity requires a specific conversion work between disciplines and that, in the particular case of sociology and psychology, importations and exportations of concepts and ideas have existed since the beginning of these disciplines.
