This opens up ethical questions. Should a white researcher, for example, tell the stories of her Arab research participants? Whose story is it? And who gets to tell it? And what do data-sharing agreements look like through the lens of public sociology? This session helps to unpack those difficult questions as researchers navigate community-based work

Sociologists in various stages of their careers engaging in public sociology and sociological practice are encouraged to submit their work for presentation.
