SAVE SOCIOLOGY

The Save Sociology website was developed by Mathieu Deflem in 2004 in response to the various forms of attack on sociology as an academic discipline that have taken place in recent years, especially since the advent of so-called 'public' sociology. This site includes information on the nature of these developments and offers food for thought in an attempt to safeguard the academic status and integrity of sociology. This site is no longer updated since the Fall of 2006.

CONTENTS

• Sociology & Politics - On the relation between sociology and politics.
• ASA Resolutions - The political resolutions in the American Sociological Association.
• Public Sociology? - On the true nature and objectives of public sociology.
• Readings - Published papers and related resources.

The Save Sociology webpages were privately maintained by Mathieu Deflem. This site was active between the Summer of 2004 and the Fall of 2006.
