According to Wikipedia, Ruth Levitas is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Bristol. She is well known internationally for her research on utopia and utopian studies. Her book, The Concept of Utopia , addresses the notion of the ideal society throughout European history.

She has formulated a program of sociology which is fundamentally utopian-focused in conventional sociological discourse.
