          Harvey Sacks (July 19, 1935 – November 14, 1975) was an American sociologist influenced by the ethnomethodology tradition.

          He pioneered extremely detailed studies of the way people use language in everyday life. Despite his early death in a car crash and the fact that he did not publish widely, he founded the discipline of conversation analysis.

          Harvey Sachs was born in Cleveland, Ohio.

          His work has had significant influence on fields such as linguistics, discourse analysis, and discursive psychology.

          Sacks received his doctoral degree in sociology at the University of California, Berkeley (1966),[2] an LL.B.

          at Yale Law School (1959),[3] and a B.A. at Columbia College (1955).[3]
