Public Sociology and Engaged Scholarship Part II examines the possibilities and challenges of sociological practice that is deeply engaged with social movements, policy debates, and struggles for justice. The panel explores the ethical dilemmas, political risks, and methodological innovations that come with working in collaboration with marginalized communities and advocating for structural change. Presenters reflect on the tensions between academic autonomy and activist commitments, the responsibilities of researchers in politically hostile environments, and the role of participatory methods in redistributing power in the research process. Together, these papers push the boundaries of what it means to practice sociology in ways that are both intellectually rigorous and socially transformative.
