>>Neither. I had great professors (all Finns), half of them influenced by "Western" theories (Weber, Durkheim, Parsons...) and half of them influenced by Socialist/Communist theories (Marx, Engels, ...) But there was quite a few original Finnish thinking and theories as well (Eskola, Allardt, ...) No U.S. students anywhere to be seen at least in our department at that time.

Oh, ok. I don't quite understand why this question about "parochial venues" came up to begin with...
