Do public engagement and political activism enhance or compromise the research enterprise of social scientists? I offer a personal reflection on the benefits and challenges of grounding scholarship about labor and workers' political struggles in praxical engagement with labor activists, including with actual subjects of research. While scholars engage non-academic publics in many different ways, I underline how ongoing direct collaboration with labor activists can be facilitated by participation in campus organizations whose mission is labor-oriented research and education. My own involvement with the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington provides one example of how this linkage between labor scholarship and labor activism can be sustained in routine, mostly complementary, and productive ways.

This chapter derives, from the movie Dr. Strangelove, cues for exploring questions about the quest for methodological insularity and purity in socio-legal research. Steven Lukes' classic three-dimensional model of power provides an intellectual focus for the core exploration of relations between epistemology and data generation, the two key elements that we usually identify with methodology. The discussion culminates in an affirmative argument for the value of approaching methodology as jazz, the creative popular music that grounds reliable, humane sense in Kubrick's movie and provides an apt analogy for much of the leading scholarship in the LSA tradition.

The editors of this timely volume announce at the outset that
their aim is to provide a forum for recent scholarship that
reacts critically to the previous generation of behavioralists
who, since the 1950s, have analyzed the U.S. Supreme Court
as little more than an aggregate of the relatively stable and
identifiable policy preferences held by individual justices.
Specifically, these essays pose a collective "response by a
succeeding generation of Supreme Court scholars who are
trained in political behavioralism but who have rediscovered
the value and importance of understanding institutional
contexts" (p. 12).
