As a public sociologist, I blog frequently about my research, as well as other opinions related to social media, social class and social movements. And I even wrote a blog post entitled, “Will Academic Digital Publishing Make You Perish?”
One of the places I blog is at Mobilizing Ideas, a social movement studies blog, which is part of The Center for the Study of Social Movements at the University of Notre Dame, editorial home of the academic journal Mobilization. Here are some of my posts:
