For all those out there who don't know what public sociology is, pay close attention! Public sociology is all about expanding the disciplinary boundaries of sociology in order to engage with non-academic audiences. I other words, it means bringing the information to the public in ways that is appealing and understanding.
This is why it is important for social scientist to connect with the public audience. We want to know what is going on too! If social research is accessible then it make social change much easier. The knowledge needs to be spread around and brought to the public. Although we may not be social researchers, it is still important to have the overview of the up to date research.
Social scientist don't have to necessarily practice their research in a public sociological way, but transfer it into public sociology. A scientist can perform their research in whatever way they would like to, but as long as it is transferred to the public in an understanding way. It is important for us as the public to know the current research. It should not be kept in article or books that nobody will read because of the length or the language.
The senior seminar that is now coming to an end was super efficient. I learned how to conduct my own research (hypothetically), learn how to write a blog and I had fun! This class was useful, it gave me the tools to go out in the world and be able to perform my own research.
