These ideas helped shape and define the interests and methodologies of the Chicago School. She worked with American philosopher [[George Herbert Mead]] and John Dewey<ref>Hamington, M. (2009).

This strike in particular bent thoughts of protests because it dealt with women workers, ethnicity, and working conditions. All of these subjects were key items that Addams wanted to see in society.

The University of Chicago Sociology department was established in 1892, three years after Hull House was established (1889). Members of Hull House welcomed the first group of professors, who soon were "intimately involved with Hull House" and assiduously engaged with applied social reform and philanthropy".<ref>Trevino, A. J. (2012). The Challenge of Service Sociology. ''Social Problems'', 59 (1), p. 3.</ref> In 1893, for example, faculty (Vincent, Small and Bennis) worked with Jane Addams and fellow Hull House resident Florence Kelley to pass legislation "banning sweat shops and employment of children" <ref>Deegan, M. J. (1988). ''Jane Addams and the Men of the Chicago School, 1892–1918''. New Brunswick, NJ, USA: Transaction Books. p. 73.  {{isbn|0887388302}}</ref> [[Albion Small]], chair of the Chicago Department of Sociology and founder of the ''American Journal of Sociology'', called for a sociology that was active "in the work of perfecting and applying plans and devices for social improvement and amelioration", which took place in the "vast sociological laboratory" that was 19th-century Chicago.<ref>Small, A. (1896). Scholarship and Social Agitation. ''American Journal of Sociology'', 1 (5), 581.</ref> Although untenured, women residents of Hull House taught classes in the Chicago Sociology Department. During and after World War I, the focus of the Chicago Sociology Department shifted away from social activism toward a more scholarly orientation. Social activism was also associated with Communism and a "weaker" woman's work orientation. In response to this change, women sociologists in the department "were moved inmasse out of sociology and into social work" in 1920.<ref>Deegan, Jane Addams and the Men of Chicago School p. 309.</ref> The contributions of Jane Addams and other Hull House residents were buried in history.<ref>Shields, P (2017).

Mary Jo Deegan, in her 1988 book ''Jane Addams and the Men of the Chicago School, 1892–1918'' was the first person to recover Addams' influence on sociology.<ref>Deegan, M. J. (1988). ''Jane Addams and the Men of the Chicago School, 1892–1918''. New Brunswick, NJ, USA: Transaction Books. {{isbn|0887388302}}.  Other influential sociologists credited with recovering Addams influence include Grant, L., Stalp, M., & Ward, K. (2002). Women's Sociological Research and Writing in the AJS in the Pre-World WarII Era. ''The American Sociologist'', 69–91. Davis, J. (1994). What's Wrong with Sociology? ''Sociological Forum'', 9 (2), 179–197.</ref> Deegan's work has led to recognition of Addams's place in sociology. In a 2001 address, for example, Joe Feagin, then president of the American Sociology Association, identified Addams as a "key founder" and he called for sociology to again claim its activist roots and commitment to social justice.<ref>Feagin, J. (2001). Social Justice and Sociology: Agendas for the Twenty-First Century. ''American Sociological Review'', 66, p. 7</ref>
