Description

Sociology 185: Public Sociology (Spring 2012, UC Berkeley). Instructors: Prof. Michael Burawoy and Prof. Laleh Behbehanian.

"Public Sociology, Live!" is a global course that brings distinguished sociologists from around the world into conversations about the ways in which their work can be seen as public sociology. It will be concerned with the way sociologists (rep)present sociology to the worlds they study, the ways and means sociologists use to disseminate their knowledge. How does sociological knowledge become part of other people's worlds? This is what we call "public sociology".
