| Summary |
Cutting across multiple disciplines, this book maps out a new role for the public sociologist in the post-COVID world. It envisions a new kind of public sociology that brings together "the digital" and the "physical" to create public spaces where critical scholarship and active civic engagement can meet in a mutually reinforcing way |
