This edited volume gathers essays by fifteen leading sociologists debating the role, scope, and purpose of “public sociology” in the modern world. It explores tensions between academic professionalism and public engagement, discussing whether sociology should aim to influence policy and social change or remain a dispassionate scientific discipline — providing critical perspectives on the profession’s political and institutional responsibilities
