Any known conservative sociologists in academia?
Conservative sociologists?
-
Conservatives in academia don't have low enough IQ scores to go into sociology. They tend to be in hard sciences and classics.
Spurious relationship. The hard sciences are full of incel nerds with no social or emotional intelligence, who are attracted to conservativism because of the prima facie evidence of its simple principles (eg rational choice, supply and demand). These types hate nuanced, contradictory subjects.

They show up on Heterodox Academy. Just see their old podcast archive and guest blogs.
George Yancey, Brad Wilcox, and Mark Regnerus have conservative reputations. It looks like Art Sakamoto has been going in that direction. I can think of a few others who aren’t as open about it.

1. Even accepting your claim for sake of argument, you are just a tad off mark. The issue is IQ, not "social" or "emotional" intelligence.
2. Yeah, because sociology is teeming with people enamored with nuanced, contradictory subjects, like class, gender, race etc. Marxism, feminism, CRT etc are so nuanced and not at all based on simple "principles"

Point 1) you can have an extremely high iq and have a very poor grasp of social behavior, and because of the shame of that deficiency, avoid it as an area of interest and study. Socially inept geeks gravitate to what they are comfortable around. Go to the dorms of a place like purdue and Carnegie Mellon.
2) sociology DOES have a solid proportion of reductionist sjw s, orthodox marxists etc. they drive me nuts. But it also has some very intelligent and insightful folks with critical and nuanced thoughts and analyses on social behavior. We tend to keep our head down but knowingly appreciate each other.

Try development, for instance: Try giving a pithy explanation for why some nations are poor while others experience improvement—without leaving glaring omissions. even a genius of your level can’t. It’s a complex topic. good sociologists lean into topics of such ambiguity.

Sociologists are far more likely to be incels (soc is considered the "u/g/l/y discipline") and are attracted to non-nuanced hypersimplifying "woke" discourses for all the reasons you project.
Incel sociologists are attracted to reductionist explanations of societal complexity through linear, collapsing notions like "white privilege" that ignore nuances like the existence of white poverty in places where black affirmative action hires live comfortably.
Conservative thought is obviously more accepting of nuances and complexity than "woke" discourses.
