1250 - Social Science and Social Justice: Engagements Past, Present and Future
Sat, August 10, 10:30am to 12:10pm, Sheraton New York, Floor: Lower Level, ChelseaSession Submission Type: Paper Session 100min
Description
This session presents papers that explore sociology's engagements with the project of social justice--a project that has been present in sociology from its beginnings. The papers focus particularly on the ways that sociologists' engagement with issues of poverty and colonialism have shaped the practice of sociology itself and on the ways that people disempowered by poverty and colonialism have produced social analyses of their own conditions as part of the project of taking charge of their lives.
