The Millennium Development Goals of 2000 to 2015 have been replaced by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of 2015 to 2030. How can these global aspirations guide sociologists in bringing our knowledge, skills, and insights to achieve justice and equality of opportunity? This essay relates each of the SDGs to our fundamental expertise.
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.
