Sociologists in Action will provide vivid examples of how
sociologists are using sociological tools to make a positive impact
on our society. In each chapter, four or five public sociologists
will describe, in vivid detail, how they have used sociology to
understand and influence the world around them. The chapters will
cover the key topics in sociology courses and the pieces will bring
the subject matter of sociology to life for students, giving them
clear examples of the power and usefulness of sociology as they
learn the course content. The discussion questions and suggested
additional readings and resources at the end of every chapter will
provide students the opportunity to delve further into the topics
covered and help create full and nuanced discussions, grounded in
the oreal worldo work of public sociologists.Sociologists in
Action, will include original, brief, highly readable articles from
a wide array of Public Sociologists in Action, describing some of
their work that has impacted society. The authors carefully choose
sociologists who are using their skills and research on a wide
range of issues, and through a wide variety of sociological methods
and venues. Each chapter will contain four or five, 3-5 page PSIA
pieces that will correspond closely to each of the first 11
chapters in The Engaged Sociologist, discluding the chapters on
theory and methods. The majority of the PSIA sections will be
written by the PSIAs themselves and carefully edited by Korgen and
White. The SIA pieces in The Engaged Sociologist: Public
Sociologists in Action will be significantly longer than the
one-page SIA boxes in The Engaged Sociologist. This will allow for
a deeper exploration of the specific sociological tools being
applied as well as the methods and processes leading to critical
social change. At the end of each chapter, the authors will include
discussion questions that relate the SIA pieces to the topics in
the corresponding chapters in The Engaged Sociologist, and provide
additional readings and resources on the various topics. The result
will be a public sociology reader that can be used in any course,
but that will have a particularly strong synergy as a supplement to
The Engaged Sociologist. 10% of the proceeds from this book will be
donated to Free the Children.
