"This, then, is the overall strength of The Social Lens: its broad coverage from the roots of positivism and modernity to the post modern theme of disillusioned discontent...As a textbook is informally written and its tone invites the student reader in to explore with the author each new chapter of uncovered ground....Allan also encourages students to think beyond the theory on the page to its implications for global society by providing what he calls "theory you can use" to assist students in further exploration. Allan's is a fresh, new and bold approach to the theory textbook."

Allan’s research areas include theory, culture, and the self. He has authored several works in the area of theory, including multiple textbooks covering classical and contemporary theory, as well as The Meaning of Culture: Moving the Postmodern Critique Forward, and A Primer in Social and Sociological Theory: Toward a Sociology of Citizenship. His current projects include a social history of American individualism, a sociological analysis of consciousness and self, as well as a novel based in early 20th century American life.
