Description: 

This session will examine the history of humanist sociology and its role in encouraging, supporting and practicing activist scholarship. While some panelists will look at past efforts and the Association for Humanist Sociology in particular, most will focus on contemporary practices and approaches for humanist sociology. After brief comments from the panelists we hope to spend much of our time in critical dialogues about the future of humanist sociology and its place within and outside of the discipline.
