CONCLUSION

In the five sections of this chapter, I have identified a number of questions that need to be answered, outlined some possible theoretical directions for answer­ing these questions, suggested some testable hypotheses, and proposed some research methods.

In doing so, I am under no illusion that I have exhausted, or even made a significant dent in, the research program that is needed for our field. That would be impractical in a chapter of this length and probably impos­sible for any one scholar to achieve. Rather, I have talked about the issues and ideas I know best, presenting some of the directions I might take if I were embarking on another thirty years of research. (I am retired.) It is likely that another scholar would come up with a very different agenda. My only hope is that a few of you, my readers, will have found in this chapter an idea or two that will stimulate future research.
