Invited Session


The session refers to publications written for a wider audience in the frame of public sociology and contextual global public sociology illustrated by the magazine of the International Sociological Association Global Dialogue. It consists of three parts. The first part presents and discusses the tasks, challenges and promises of public sociology: how can sociology address non-academic public and how can scientific knowledge be prepared to be disseminated outside of academia and with reference to local and global contexts. The second part explains and discusses some fundamental guidelines which should be considered concerning the composition of the text, the language and the style used, illustrated by sequences of articles. The third part includes some exchange on writing and review experiences. The session addresses scholars from all strands of sociology who are interested in disseminating their findings and results and in getting support to write short pieces for wider audiences and in reflecting on this form of knowledge transfer.

Organised by Brigitte Aulenbacher and Klaus Dörre, Editors, and Johanna Grubner, Editorial Assistant of Global Dialogue
