[Early Life] Julia Adams is a professor of Sociology. She conducts research in the areas of state building, gender and family, social theory and knowledge, early modern European politics, and Colonialism and empire. Her current research focuses on the historical sociology of agency relations and modernity, gender, race, and the representation of academic knowledge on Wikipedia and on other digital platforms. [1] (Take out special focus on gender on published page: inaccurate). Adams is Professor of Sociology and International & Area Studies and Head of Grace Hopper College, Yale[2]. She also co-directs YaleCHESS (Center for Historical Enquiry and the Social Sciences) and is on the Board of Reed College.[2]

[Career] The Familial State and Contradictions of Agency (2010). [3] In an interview with MacMillan Report at Yale University in 2010, Adams' discusses her research regarding large scale forms of patriarchal politics and the historical sociology of history relations[3]. She discusses with interviewer Marilyn Wilkes her background research regarding the familial state and contradictions of agency in contemporary America. This background research was the development of her book, The Familial State, which focuses on elite families in large scale political development in European countries. [3] She found this research important because of its academic importance and for the public to have a better understanding of the world around them. Adams often uses the term scholarship in her research. Scholarship, according to Adams', means patriarchal power in Twenty First century Inequality and Capitalism[4]. By studying Holland’s renowned families, who were at the time both state-builders and merchant capitalists, during the seventeenth century Dutch Golden Age, Adams discovered how the family patriarchs shaped the first great wave of European colonialism which led to the influence of European political development in modern ways[5].

Adams is also accredited for her research regarding Wikipedia with Hannah Brückner who is a professor of Social Research and Public Policy at New York University-Abu Dhabi and is a leading sociologist on life course, inequality, health, gender and sexuality.[6] This research project titled, “Wikipedia and the Democratization of Academic Knowledge” is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded study of how academics and academic subjects are represented on Wikipedia.[7] The research gathered by Adams and Brückner is focused on comparing the structure and statistics of scientific evidence and social scientific evidence with their Wikipedia entries to better understand the development of Wikipedia as a functional and legitimate online encyclopedia.[7]
