Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of Danish sociology from around 1870 to 1960. The chapter analyses the many unsuccessful attempts to institutionalise sociology in Denmark in the early period. It shows how early sociologists pursued academic careers in the intersection between academia, civic society organisation and staThe bureaucracy, but despiThe relative success and academic recognition, sociologists were not able to establish continued sociological institutions often due to opposition from dominating disciplines like economics and philosophy.
