Pioneers of Public Sociology: 30 Years of Humanity and Society

In this exciting anthology, Corey Dolgon and Mary Chayko bring together some of the clearest and most important voices on public sociology. While sociology has always been inextricably linked to studying social problems, the rise of public sociology brings solving those problems front and center. This book pairs classic and contemporary articles in this tradition with critical rejoinders - many published in the journal Humanity and Society, some written especially for this book. Humanity and Society is the journal of the Association for Humanist Sociology [AHS], for over thirty years the leading organization for those doing cutting edge work in public sociology. Pioneers in Public Sociology is indispensable for students, instructors, researchers, activists, and anyone interested in discovering new ways to apply sociology to understanding and changing society.
