Joan Huber papers, 1961-2001.

The collection consist of publications, research and reference files, correspondence pertaining to the administration of professional sociological associations (American Sociological Association, Midwest Sociological Society, and Sociologists for Women in Society), including the ASA's involvement in a court case against the Unification Church, and the termination of the Sociology Dept. at Washington University (St. Louis, Mo.), general correspondence, and personal academic files. The papers document Huber's professional life as a sociologist, academician, and administrator. Huber's research and reference files reflect her lifelong interest in the formation and perception of class structure and social stratification in American society, and the intersecting dynamics of race, class, and gender. The collection contains very little personal and family correspondence. Correspondents include Pauline Bart, Jessie Bernard, Hubert M. Blalock, Cynthia Epstein, Helen Hughes, Gerhard Lenski, David Lewis, David Riesman, and Alice Rossi.
