http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=yiIJVgpc0S0 Following introductions, Michael Burawoy begins with discussing the definition, and especially the dilemmas, of public sociology. He uses his then ongoing course, Public Sociology Live http://www.isa-sociology.org/public-sociology-live/, and http://isapublicsociology.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/week-1-michael-burawoy/ to illustrate some of its potentials. In classes across the world – in Teheran, Barcelona, Johannesburg, Kyiv, Sao Paulo, Oslo, Berkeley – sociologists watch the course and then summarize each class’s discussion on the group facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/259654060772916/ which in turn moves discussion across them. Around 21:50, Burawoy turns to dilemmas using this course, and drawing on some of that course’s guest speakers, for his illustrations. Around 33 minutes, the seminar opens up for discussion, where publics and their scholars from Europe and Eurasia, organized by the Academic Fellowship Program of the Open Society Foundations, move the discussion around variations in sociology, the discipline’s relationship to anthropology, and its relationship to activism as such.

Introduction: Engaged Anthropology vis-à-vis Michael Burawoy's Public Sociology—A View from Poland2020 •
Anthropologists have been engaged in the problems of the contemporary world from the very beginning of the discipline’s existence: the founding fathers, Lewis Morgan and Edward Tylor, when writing for a wider audience; Bronisław Malinowski, in calling for researching other cultures “from the native’s point of view,” and supporting applied anthropology; Franz Boas, in criticizing racist science; and the founding mother, Margaret Mead, by participating in the public debate on the problems of her time.
