Biography
Lee was born in Oakmont, Pennsylvania in 1906.[2] He obtained an undergraduate (1927) and master's degree (1931) at the University of Pittsburgh and a Ph.D. from Yale University (1933).[1][2]
Lee's first book was The Daily Newspaper in America, The Evolution of a Social Instrument in 1937, which examined the development and influence of American newspapers.[1] As part of his work with the Institute for Propaganda Analysis, he wrote, with his wife Elizabeth Briant Lee, The Fine Art of Propaganda (1939) which examined the speeches of Father Coughlin.[3]
Among his academic appointments, Lee served as chair of the Sociology and Anthropology departments at Wayne University from 1942 to 1947, and as chair of the Sociology and Anthropology department at Brooklyn College from 1951 to 1957.[2] In 1976, he co-founded the Association for Humanist Sociology with his wife, Elizabeth Briant Lee.[4] He also served as president of the American Sociological Association (1976–1977),[2] said to have been installed by a mobilisation of left-wing sociologists.[5] In 1973 he was one of the signers of the Humanist Manifesto II.[6]
Lee died of congestive heart failure at his home in Madison, New Jersey, on May 19, 1992.[1]
