Sociology without borders: For public sociology?

Résumé du document

In the first issue of Sociology, the online magazine, the editorial says that the birth of the project sets an ambitious goal with reference to an article from The Buroway. It makes public sociology a scientific discipline. This does not mean that it makes it more accessible by simplifying its theoretical concepts, but the discipline is open to a dialogue and a commitment to the world. It is interested in the world and is not self-referential.

[...] Without Borders has only one border, namely human rights. If all the capitalists and the political institutions in the world as a superpower, are supporting and developing imperialism, fundamentalism, totalitarianism, the monopoly and the concentration of wealth and power, then together they went against the people, and we sociologists, Instead, hand in hand with other activists and other social agencies, we will walk together to defend human rights. Sociology is a scientific discipline, but, like all other disciplines have a responsibility to promote social security in the world, sociologists have certain responsibilities: preserving and defending our own scientific freedom, we must defend freedom of the people; understand that freedom and human rights go hand in hand, we have an obligation to defend the human rights of persons; for sociologists is better to not shy away from understanding and humanitarian responsibilities Conclusion We as a people, we depend on social scientists to show and make public our problems because we have no human rights.
