Institution affiliation names the university where a theorist actually did their work. Wikipedia notes that in 1895 Durkheim "set up the first European department of sociology and became France's first professor of sociology," an institutional first as significant as any single book he wrote. This dimension connects a theorist to the institution that gave their work a home.
