Andrew Abbott is the Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Sociology and the College at the University of Chicago. Abbott took his BA (in history and literature) at Harvard in 1970 and his PhD (in sociology) from the University of Chicago in 1982. Prior to his return to Chicago in 1991, he taught for thirteen years at Rutgers University.

Known for his ecological theories of occupations, Abbott has also pioneered algorithmic analysis of social sequence data. He has written on the foundations of social science methodology and on the evolution of the social sciences and the academic system. He is the author of five books and seventy articles and chapters.

His work includes The System of Professions (Chicago 1988), a theoretical analysis of the professions and their development that won the ASA's Sorokin Award in 1991. More recent books include a historical study of academic disciplines and publication (Department and Discipline [Chicago 1999]) and a theoretical analysis of fractal patterns in social and cultural structures Chaos of Disciplines [Chicago 2001]). Abbott has also published a collection of theoretical essays in the Chicago pragmatist and ecological tradition (Time Matters [Chicago 2001]) and a short introduction to heuristics in the social sciences (Methods of Discovery [Norton 2004]).
