PhD Workshop: Sociology in Public

Almost ten years on from Michael Burawoy's spirited 2004 American Sociological Association Presidential address the issue of sociology's relationship to the public has become a key issue. In the workshop we will explore how to think of public sociology both as a practice and a principle. Also, we will explore what it means to do sociology differently at the level of form, authorship and in relation to time. Participants are asked to be bring one example of how their research experience or through their reading of how doing sociology makes contact with a public beyond the university.

This event is free but spaces are limited. Please contact Dr Kimberly Jamie at kimberly.jamie@york.ac.uk to reserve a place.
