Abstract

It is proposed that the model of the applied sociologist as a craftsman is similar to the model social scientist described by C. Wright Mills. The characteristics of the applied sociologist as a craftsman are summarized as follows:1) know and use both theory and method, 2) be wholly committed to his/her craft through a reflexive attention to his life and work, 3) insist on a critical rather than received understanding, 4) require that this understanding can make a difference, and 5) embrace a creative play with all of these elements (theory, method, the interdependence of life and work, critique, and social change) that defines authentic applied sociology. Applied sociologists are presented as craftsmen in a Weberian ideal type format and that model is examined in the context of their work settings and roles. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
