Description
Public Sociology is Michael Burawoy's most comprehensive exploration of what a truly engaged sociology should look like in the 21st century. Drawing on his own experiences as a researcher and academic, Burawoy reflects on the key moments that have shaped his intellectual journey.
In this book, Burawoy argues that sociology is not just a discipline, but a vocation - one that requires practice everywhere and by everyone. He draws on his time working in a Zambian copper mine and a Chicago factory, as well as his experiences during the ideological ferment of 1970s sociology departments.
Through his story, Burawoy seeks to redefine what it means for sociology to be truly committed and engaged. With Public Sociology, he offers a vision for a sociological practice that is relevant to our contemporary world.
