Book Chapter — The Utopistics of Terence K. Hopkins, Twenty Years Later: A Postscript — by Mohammad H. Tamdgidi

In this conclusion to the volume, co-editor of the volume Mohammad H. Tamdgidi argues that cultivating sociologically imaginative approaches that allow us to simultaneously consider personal troubles and public issues via a reconsidered unit of world-systems analysis—one that frames such an approach in terms of the macro/micro dialectic of singular world-history and multiple personal selves—promotes respect for the diversity of cultures and the diversity and psychological complexity of personal actor roles and associated selves that continue to become involved in mentoring, methods, and movements. Such a dialectical simultaneity of macro-micro units of analysis indeed can reveal the contributions of all those attending or contributing to the TKH Colloquium, whether or not their presentations were delivered or included in this volume.
