It's also one of the most understudied process in contemp soc. Lost w/ much of the pre80s soc (eg, role theory)

You are absolutely correct. Trying to find modern studies is fruitless every time.

The crazy part is it is probably one of the, if not the. most important social mechanism for human beings.

It is the the most important, imo. Everything comes back to it, so I never understood why it stopped being researched

Completely agree; yet culture is studied in depth without socialization—which is how culture happens!

Some of it has to do w/ epistemology battles of 80s, some w/ postmodernism and questions like "is the self even real"

So what can WE, as contemporary sociologists do to change some focus back onto this? (Besides our own research)

I feel like there is so much low-hanging fruit that really really needs researching. Frustrating though.

Theoretically, sociology has the possibly the best tool kit for 2017; or soc-psych with a soc bent.

Practically, many media studies people are missing the sociology part, and sociologists are? Dunno. Missing.

It seems to me that it's one of those subjects that is thought to be 'done' (obv not) that we need to reintroduce!
