The formal Task Force has now ended, and this site remains as an archive of the material produced through its work.
Public sociology is still quite new but, in general, we use the term to refer to those who take sociology out of the classroom and laboratory to directly impact social change and decision making in the public sphere. This is not a hard and fast definition and one of our tasks is to seek out the diversity of definitions of public sociology.
