Engaging with the key debates and issues in a continuously evolving
field, Lavinia Bifulco and Vando Borghi bring together
contributions from leading social scientists to debate the enduring
relevance of public sociology in light of ongoing changes in the
social world. This incisive Research Handbook explores the critical
authors, texts, and research perspectives foundational to the
discipline of public sociology. Multidisciplinary in approach, it
advances dialogues between diverse scientific and environmental
perspectives and considers how best to design and conduct research
in different scientific fields. Chapters discuss current teaching
and critical thought within the discipline, identify promising
analytical approaches through which to research key aspects of
social transformation, and investigate the relationship between
sociology and its various publics. Rather than reproducing an
already-fixed analytical programme, the Research Handbook explores
the potential of public sociology to collaborate and hybridise with
novel research paths. Pushing the frontiers of public sociology,
this insightful Research Handbook will prove an engaging and
invaluable resource for social scientists and sociological
communities, as well as for students in the social sciences. Its
exploration of the applications of public sociology in empirical
research and teaching will further benefit professionals working
within public organisations.
