Abstract

Sociology is often viewed as a change-the-world discipline, and indeed, AACS members and other applied and clinical sociologists continually demonstrate how the practice of sociology— sociology at work—can effect beneficial social change at micro, meso and macro levels. Unfortunately, too many sociology students complete their programs without ever learning how they can use their new knowledge to make a difference, or, worse, to make a living. This address discusses the disconnect between what sociology students learn in school and the real world that awaits them when they graduate, and calls on members to join AACS in working to mentor a new generation into the practice of real-world sociology.
