Mario Small is the Quetelet Professor of Social Science in the Department of Sociology at Columbia University. One of the most preeminent sociologists of his generation, Mario is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American academy of Political and Social Sciences, and most recently, of the National Academy of Sciences, one of the most coveted academic associations in the world. A sociologist whose work focuses on urban poverty, social inequality, personal networks, and the relationship between quantitative and qualitative methods, Mario is the author of several pathbreaking books, among them are Villa Victoria: The Transformation of Social Capital in a Boston Barrio, and Unanticipated Gains: The Origins of Network Inequality in Everyday Life. Both books received several awards, including the prestigious C. Wright Mills Award from the American Sociological Association. Mario is also the co-author of a recently published book that explores how social scientists should go about evaluating ethnographic and interview research.

Small joins Dean Fredrick Harris on The Dean's Table to reflect on whether being born and raised in Panama shaped his insights as a sociologist, to discuss how and when he became interested in being a sociologist, and to talk about his intellectual contributions to the study of urban poverty, personal networks, and qualitative methods.
