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)

this is what we spend so much time trying to 'prove' but the discipline needs to catch up with the times!

Pretty frustrating. I sometimes get so much mileage of explaining basic stuff... Socy 101 stuff. Not widely known.
