Abstract
Harriet Herring, a research associate at the Institute for Research in Social Science and professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of North Carolina, recalls her early life and experiences studying labor in North Carolina mill towns in the first half of the twentieth century. The bulk of the interview focuses on Herring's efforts to study the high turnover at cotton mills and the industry's resistance to her investigations. Some recollections about Herring's family and eminent sociologist Howard T. Odum did not merit excerption but might still be useful for researchers.
