>Featured Sessions on Public Sociologies
>The featured sessions aim to validate a public sociology that speaks
>across and beyond disciplines, that converses with all manner of
>publics, that affirms but also transcends local and national
>differences, that engages with the pressing issues of our time, and
>that, in so doing, vitalizes all sociology. Public sociology has
>many faces and many languages. So, with the help of the Ford
>Foundation, the world's most renown sociologists and public
>intellectuals will congregate in San Francisco to create a World
>Sociological Forum, a clashing of voices and perspectives on social
>science's public mission.
