Section on Sociological Practice

The purpose of the Section on Sociological Practice is to provide a forum for sociologists working in diverse applied settings, e.g., industry, government, higher education, voluntary associations or as solo practitioners; and to increase understanding of the relationship between sociological practice and sociological knowledge.

The section is committed to enhancing the professional image of sociological practitioners, expanding opportunities for the practical application of sociological principles and techniques and furthering the production and critique of sociological knowledge by providing a dialogue among sociologists practicing in a wide variety of academic and non academic settings
