Description
Summary:An interview with Arlene Stein and Jessie Daniels about their being sociologists. Stein mentions "I identify as a sociologist, a public sociologist of sorts, an activist, and a writer. My academic work has mainly been in the areas of sexuality studies and gender, and also political sociology and the sociology of culture. When I was at Berkeley, I was heavily involved in trying to carve out a niche for people who were interested in sexuality and LGBTQ studies." Daniels adds "So Arlene was a friend for a while and invited me out for Korean dumplings one night, and I knew she wanted to ask me something. I didn't know what it was. And she was like. I'm thinking about doing a book on public sociology. I'm like. cool, awesome, pass the kimchi. She was like. I'd like you to be a co-author. And I was like, what'd you say? So yeah, that's the genesis of how this book started. For me. I've always been interested in both writing for public audiences and how sociology could be more public facing, I was born and raised in Texas."
