“We live today in an era of stunning social change, marked by transformations radically discrepant from those of previous periods… the formation of intensified global communication systems, the apparent world-wide triumph of capitalism at a time at which global divisions are becoming acute and ecological problems looming more and more large – all these and other issues confront social science and have to confronted by social science.” - Anthony Giddens Sociologist, Career Planning, Live Today, Communication System, Social Change, Capitalism, Confront, Popular Culture

As two men were arrested in 2013 for allegedly conspiring to carry out a terrorist attack, the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was not interested in talking about the causes of terrorism. He said: “I think, though, this is not a time to commit sociology, if I can use an expression… The root causes of terrorism is terrorists.” Guess what?

"We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." - Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Did you know that MLK studied #sociology? Students and practitioners can draw much inspiration from King's "change management" leadership style and his communication of social justice principles. Both are grounded in applied sociology. http://sociologyatwork.org/blog/2-blog/195-dr-martin-luther-king Lutheran Humor, King's Speech, Kings Day, Martin Luther King Day, King Jr, Michael, Before Us, New Politics

Alfred McClung Lee posed the question “sociology for whom?” in his 1976 Presidential Address to the American Sociological Association. This question has plagued sociology since its inception: why do we do sociology? Do we do it for other sociologists? If so, research and academic publishing are the main outcomes of our discipline. Do we do it for a broader public? If so, then how do we support the activities of sociologists who practice outside universities?

“I believe not just in going for immediate and obtainable goals, but trying in a larger way to change our culture. I think that’s the special niche, perhaps, of sociologists. We realise how important culture is, and if we can make certain cultural changes –which are not easy, it takes a lot of people and it takes a lot of time– but when we make those cultural changes we find the social and political changes are much easier because we have a widespread support for it. It seems more natural then" San Jose State University, Social Activities, Activism, Problem Solving, Other People, Macro

“That’s part of the sociological genius in our field. If we can be good thinkers; and know how to find information; know how to link to other people; and try to connect micro and meso and macro and therefore know how to problem-solve, then we can be useful in any field. And there’s no field that a sociologically trained student can’t go into and be very successful.”

“Just knowing how to research and write a literature review, how to construct a research proposal – if I hadn’t done research methods, I wouldn’t know how to do that. So I use it [sociology] all the time. It’s a fantastic boon in the area I’m working in.” See how Dr Sue Malta uses applied sociology in her role as researcher and project manager in the not for profit sector!

Sure there is a lot of poor research pumped out under the guise of market research, but wide-sweeping elitism on where sociologists should work is a disservice to our training and expertise.
