- There Is No Simple Formula for Public Sociology Success
There is no website with a universal list of public sociology projects that need doing. Identifying a project and potential research partners outside the university is a process that combines researchers’ personal interests and skills with community research and information needs. What are the critical issues in the broader community that need more...
Rev. Mac Legerton is the executive director of the Center for Community Action, Lumberton, North Carolina. In my 35 years of working with the academy, there is one area of community practice that needs the most work. While good planning, development, communi-cation, research, and evaluation skills are all important, these are technical skills that ...
The dominant model of academic research is the “lone ranger” model: a faculty member comes up with her own idea, develops the research project on her own, collects and analyzes the data on her own, and writes the single-authored article for submission for a peer-reviewed journal. There is no negotiating with a nonacademic partner about the focus of...
In addition to making the initial contacts, coordinating schedules, and meet-ing community deadlines, building trust and credibility among community partners is central to successful public sociology. What have you done for this community before? What have you done for this organization? What impact has your work had? What skills and resources do y...

Assuming that your department, university, or consortium of universi-ties can guarantee some regular resources to research ideas emerging from the community—resources such as x amount of faculty time, x number of graduate fellows or x number of undergraduate interns— then a modest request for proposal (RFP) process to offer your depart-ment’s servi...
When collaborative research projects do take place, it is often helpful to create an advisory committee consisting of those faculty, students, and com-munity members directly involved in the project along with other faculty and community leaders who may have an interest in the issue. Formally integrat-ing community and university voice in the resea...
Regular communication with past and current partners not only keeps them on top of developments within the university but sustains positive relationships that can lead to new research projects. Moreover, such non-academic leaders or activists can be valuable resources in class presentations and in serving on university advisory committees. Keeping ...
In starting up public sociology projects, the issue of funding invariably comes up early in the conversation. If it is assumed that funding is needed before work can start, efforts can stall immediately. Looking at the case studies in this book, as well as the very early beginnings of centers and networks described in the last chapter, strong inter...

There is no simple formula for getting started in public sociology. Different orientations of college...
