Applied Sociology in the United Kingdom

Applied Worldwide is proud to represent the work of several sociologists from the United Kingdom. We would like to take this chance to showcase their work and commemorate all of the contributions to Applied Worldwide from the UK.

Profiles

We are honored to have partnered with the British Sociological Association's Applied Sociology Group to produce profiles of applied and clinical sociologists from the United Kingdom. The following profiles provide valuable insight into how to become an applied sociologist.

• Dr. Federico Farini: Creating Sustainable Impact
• Teresa Crew, PhD: Diversity in Higher Education

We also partnered with the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology and as a result produced one more interview with an applied sociologist from the United Kingdom.

• Professor Robert Dingwall: Strategic Advice and Evaluation

Thanks to all of these professional sociologists for sharing insights into their knowledge and careers. Also, thanks to the British Sociological Association and the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology for sponsoring these interviews. The BSA blog contains some Applied Worldwide content so be sure to check out their Applied Sociology Blog.

Essays

Applied Worldwide hosts an annual student essay competition where students submit essays responding to the question, “Why is sociology important?” Over the years, we have had several high quality entries from sociology students in the United Kingdom.?

• Intersectionality: How Gender and Race Impact Our World
• Sociology is Important in Nursing and Beyond
• Social Change is Why Sociology is Important
• The Role of Sociology in the Globalised, Postmodern World
• On ‘entertaining’ politics in the UK: Is this the time?

Once again, we want to thank all of the sociology students from the United Kingdom who have submitted essays over the years to Applied Worldwide’s student essay competition.

Instagram

Our final shout out goes to Ben Hewitson. Hewitson teaches sociology in the United Kingdom and uses social media in innovative ways. Applied Worldwide highly believes in using social media and new age technology in the sociology classroom, so Ben Hewitson’s work deserves attention!

Final Thoughts on Applied Sociology in the United Kingdom

In the past we have written thanking our contributors from a certain country or region. This time Applied Worldwide would like to honor the sociology professors, practitioners, and students who have contributed content to our website.?

So once again, special thanks to our applied and clinical sociologists, our essayists, and everyone else from the United Kingdom who have helped make Applied Worldwide what it has become today.?
