Toward a Sociology for and with People

Session Submission Type: Invited Session (90 minute)

Description

Sociologists are interested in working with people beyond the academy but often feel confused about what this kind of work could look like and how to get started. This session will bring together sociologists who do work with activists and local communities to provide models of how to make sociology count beyond the academy, not just in terms of research impacts, but including collaborations and other forms of engagement.
