Obituaries
Lyn H. Lofland
1937–2022
Lyn H. Lofland, professor emerita in the Department of Sociology at the University of California-Davis, died on September 7, 2022.
Lofland grew up in Juneau, Alaska, and attended Stanford University for a year before transferring to Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Initially a student of history, she fell in love with the discipline of sociology during an introductory course and hastened to declare it as her major. Lofland earned her bachelor’s degree in 1960, an era when it was uncommon for women to attend graduate school, so she worked as an administrative assistant and social worker for several years before enrolling in graduate school at the University of Michigan. There she earned a master’s degree in sociology in 1966. She then joined the first cohort of doctoral students in the sociology program at the University of California-San Francisco, where she knew she could develop her interests in symbolic interaction and premise her research on observational data.
Much of Lofland’s scholarship grew out of her love for big cities, something she relished about living in San Francisco. The dissertation that she submitted to complete her PhD in 1971 was published two years later as a monograph titled A World of Strangers: Order and Action in Urban Public Spaces (Basic Books 1973). A foundational text among scholars of urban sociology and social interaction, the book is an analysis of how modern city dwellers navigate social spaces populated by strangers. In The Public Realm: Exploring the City’s Quintessential Social Territory (Routledge 1998), Lofland expanded this focus to consider the layered nature of urban social spaces, challenging her reader to see how public life is organized to encompass private activities and personal meanings. In doing so, she established the public realm as a rich, stand-alone sphere of study.
Lofland’s writing balanced brilliant sociological insight with strict analytical discipline. She jettisoned rhetorical flourish in favor of clear-eyed description, a style that has given her work a timeless quality. This is particularly evident in her scholarship on death and dying, emotion, and grief. In between the publication of World of Strangers and The Public Realm, Lofland wrote The Craft of Dying: The Modern Face of Death (Sage 1978), an examination of how people at the time were responding to the slow, medicalized forms of dying that have come to characterize end-of-life experience. Reissued in 2019 by MIT Press, the text offers a trenchant critique of what Lofland called “The Happy Death Movement,” or the movement that gave rise to hospice care. So prescient was Lofland’s analysis that this book has reemerged as a touchstone for scholars of the death-positive movement today.
Shortly after joining the faculty at the University of California-Davis in 1971, Lofland developed the flagship course Self & Society and went on to teach courses in social interaction, urban sociology, and the sociology of death and dying. Early in her career she took special pleasure in lecturing to large groups of undergraduate students, jokingly referring to herself as a “showboat.” Graduate students sought her out not only for her substantive knowledge but also for her expertise in qualitative methods. Her text Analyzing Social Settings: A Guide to Qualitative Observation and Analysis (Wadsworth Publishing Company 1984)—coauthored with John Lofland and now in its fourth edition—remains widely used in the graduate training of qualitative sociologists.
When it came to the political work of academe, Lofland could be a fierce and savvy advocate—“feisty” in the words of one colleague—and she worked on behalf of faculty in many ways and at many levels. Most notably, she was chair of the Department of Sociology at the University of California-Davis, 1996–1999; president of the Pacific Sociological Association, 1989–1990; president of the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction, 1980–1981; and academic director for the Women’s Resources and Research Center at the University of California-Davis, 1976–1978.
In notes of remembrance, Lofland’s students and colleagues describe her as a “treasure,” a “rarity,” and a wise and honest mentor. We will remember her for her remarkable accessibility, generosity, interpersonal ease, and warmth. She will be dearly missed.

Dorothy E. Smith
1926–2022
Dorothy E. Smith died on June 3, 2022, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at age 95. She had recently written Simply Institutional Ethnography: Creating a Sociology for People (University of Toronto Press 2022) with Alison I. Griffith. Her groundbreaking feminist critique of sociology helped change the discipline in the 1970s, and her institutional ethnography approach inspired an international network of researchers in sociology and related fields.
Smith grew up in Yorkshire, England. After working as a secretary and social worker, she earned a BS degree in sociology from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a PhD from the University of California-Berkeley in 1962. She taught briefly at UC Berkeley and at the University of Sussex, then took up a position at the University of British Columbia, where she embraced feminist activism. In 1977, Smith joined the Department of Sociology in Education (now Social Justice Studies) at the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). After retirement, she continued to teach at the University of Victoria and lecture and offer workshops at OISE and elsewhere. During her career, Smith supervised more than 40 doctoral dissertations.
Smith’s feminist critique made her a canonical theorist in sociology; she advanced a distinctive version of the “standpoint theory” that animated the era. Her “sociology for women” (rather than about them) began with everyday experience as a point of entry for wide-ranging investigation of the “ruling relations.” Her first major book, The Everyday World as Problematic: A Feminist Sociology (Northeastern University Press 1987), outlined this approach, which was built upon the ontology and methodology of Marx, and was grounded in people’s activities and concerned with how those activities are coordinated. As people working from different marginalized positions took it up, institutional ethnography became a “sociology for people.” With Alison Griffith, Smith researched mothering and schooling, and the restructuring of human-services work.
Smith’s work emphasized the power of text in social relations. Fascinated by language and “conceptual practices of power,” she wrote about the social organization of knowledge, drawing on and extending the work of George Herbert Mead, Alfred Schutz, and ethnomethodological perspectives. While her thinking reflected the linguistic turn in social science, she insisted on the primacy of embodiment, a position she outlined in the 1996 paper “Telling the Truth after Postmodernism” in Symbolic Interaction. Smith developed methods for analyses of how people take up, use, and are coordinated by textual materials of many kinds.
Smith worked to make her ideas useful in activist contexts, collaborating with George Smith on HIV/AIDS treatments, Ellen Pence on the processing of domestic-violence cases, and Susan Turner on justice issues in First Nation communities in Canada. The research partnerships she forged only begin to hint at her influence on scholars worldwide. She traveled widely, and her writings were translated into German, French, and Spanish; Japanese and Chinese translations are in progress. She was a much-beloved teacher and a remarkably generous mentor, both for students and the many scholars who gathered to learn from her. The institutional ethnography network she founded has made institutional homes in the U.S.-based Society for the Study of Social Problems and a working group in the International Sociological Association. Regional institutional ethnography networks have formed in the Nordic region, Taiwan, Australia, Europe, and elsewhere.
Smith received numerous honors and awards, including the American Sociological Association’s Jessie Bernard Award in 1993, ASA’s W.E.B. Du Bois Career of Distinguished Scholarship Award in 1999, and the ASA Marxist Sociology Section’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. In 2019, Smith received the Order of Canada for her contributions to society.
Dorothy is survived by her son, David; three grandchildren, Sam, Calla, and Max; and her daughter-in-law Anna. Another son, Steven, died in 2019. A short film about her life and work, completed just before her death, is available here. Those who wish to share memories may visit this kudoboard.
