> Compare, for example, at Colombia University, the Department of Sociology homepage http://sociology.columbia.edu/ http://sociology.columbia.edu/ and the Department of Economoics http://econ.columbia.edu/ http://econ.columbia.edu/. The sociology page features a huge image of a protest of the recent immigration executive orders. The economics page, on the other hand, features upcoming talks like "Iceland's Road to Recovery" and "Modern Financial Markets: The Role of High-Frequency Trading". The sociology department is signaling that they're passionate about ideological issues, while the economics department is signaling that they're focused on understanding and analyzing.
How can you conjure up this example, and conclude that only sociology is ideological?

- RodericDay 10y agoYeah, I wouldn't bat an eye at that.
- weberc2 10y agoI'm missing the ideology in the Econ headlines. Can you spell it out for me?
