| Summary: | Benita Luckmann (1925-1987) was a Latvian-born social scientist who taught in Austria, Germany, and the United States and who gained notoriety for her research on exile and small lifeworlds, among other topics. With her research background in the Russian Mir, a German small town, and the University in Exile (now the New School for Social Research) in New York, she approached her research topics in a way that anticipated recent developments in research on (post)traditional communities, community studies, and the spatial turn in general. After providing a brief biographical sketch, this entry explores the five primary themes of Luckmann's work and concludes by looking at the reception and subsequent impact of her work. |
