Description: 

This session presents contributors to a new book from Oxford University Press entitled: A Handbook of Sociology for Social Justice. We’ll cover myriad ways that sociologists conduct and produce research guided by struggles against inequality and structures of oppression. Contributors present theoretical pieces promoting the democratization of knowledge production and the political vitality of emergent collaborative research with and from communities in struggle. The book also features case studies among youth in South America and South Africa, farmers and land rights activists in Southeast Asia, and anti-poverty, anti-racist and pro-LGBTQ organizations throughout the U.S. Presenters will briefly describe their work and the potential for sociologists work to inform and partake in present and future radical struggles for justice.
