Without imposing a singular vision of how to follow that path, the editors and contributors illuminate a variety of ways to pursue change-oriented sociology.  While such publicly engaged sociology is not a requisite role for every sociologist, it is consistent with a long sociological tradition. In this time and in the foreseeable future, the book argues, both the public and sociology as a discipline could benefit from research, teaching, and activism that aims to make a difference. \u003ci\u003eSociologists Making Change\u003c\/i\u003e offers a path for sociologists collectively to build better public visibility in ways that make the discipline better understood and more valued in the public mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 October 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing Plc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781666981322\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":68150270656762,"sku":"9781666981322","price":114.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9781666981322.jpg?v=1794297093","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sociologists-making-change-9781666981322","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
