The Public Sociology Debate

Ethics and Engagement

foreword by Michael Burawoy, edited by Ariane Hanemaayer & Christopher J. Schneider

tagged: ethics & moral philosophy, philosophy & social aspects
Description

In 2004, Michael Burawoy challenged sociologists to move beyond the ivory tower and into the realm of activism, to engage in public discourses about what society could or should be. His call to arms sparked debate among sociologists. Which side would sociologists take? Would “public sociology” speak for all sociologists? In this volume, leading Canadian experts continue the debate by discussing their discipline’s mission and practice and the role that ethics plays in research, theory, and teaching. In doing so, they offer insights as to where their discipline is heading and why it matters to people inside and outside the university.
