Peter Michael Blau (1918-2002) was a sociologist. Born in Vienna, Austria, he emigrated to the United
States in 1939. Peter Blau received his PhD at Columbia University in 1952
before moving on to teach at the University of Chicago from 1953 to 1970. In
1970 he returned to Columbia, where he continued to teach until 1988. His
sociological specialty was in organizational and social structures, in
particular bureaucracy. He theorized explanations for many social phenomena,
including upward mobility, occupational opportunity, heterogeneity, and how
population structures can influence human behavior. Peter Blau also was the
first to map out the wide variety of social forces, dubbed by
Miller McPherson. Blau-space is still used as a guide by sociologists and has
been expanded to include areas of sociology Blau himself never specifically
covered.
