FORUM ON PUBLIC SOCIOLOGY
TEACHING AS PUBLIC SOCIOLOGY
It is one thing to teach public sociology, for example, through service
learning. It is another thing for teaching to be public sociology, that is
to regard students as a public unto themselves. Virtuoso teacher, Mary
Kelsey, provides a model for doing precisely that, namely seeing students
not as empty vessels to be filled but as embodiments of lived experience to
be elaborated in a triple dialogue: first, with sociological texts, second,
with fellow students and third, with secondary publics beyond the university.
