Abstract
Sometimes divisions make more noise than connections. In this Presidential Address for the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Association of Applied and Clinical Sociology, Dr. Childers invites sociologists to lean into our strengths when finding ways to cut through the noise of divisions to amplify connections. Intentionality, using our tools and resources, and leading with understanding are strategies that build bridges as we seek new ways to apply sociology in our worlds.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Social Science publishes research articles, essays, research reports, teaching notes, and book reviews on a wide range of topics of interest to the social science practitioner. Specifically, we encourage submission of manuscripts that, in a concrete way, apply social science or critically reflect on the application of social science. Authors must address how they either improved a social condition or propose to do so, based on social science research.
