Sociology and the Public Agenda

Posted on by William Julius Wilson

Publisher : SAGE Publications

ISBN-13 : 1452252637

Page : 391 pages

Rating : 4.5/5 from 637 voters

The editor of this volume asserts that sociology's ostrich-like stance threatens to leave the discipline in a position of irrelevance to the world at large and compromises the support of policymakers, funders, media and the public. Wilson's vision is of a sociology attuned to the public agenda, influencing public policy through both short and long-range analysis from a sociological perspective. Using a variety of policy issues, perspectives, methods and cases, the distinguished contibutors to this volume both demonstrate and emphasize Wilson's ideas.
