As social media is increasingly becoming a standard feature of sociological practice, this timely book rethinks the role of these mediums in public sociology and what they can contribute to the discipline in the post-Covid world. It reconsiders the history and current conceptualisations of what sociology is, and analyse what kinds of social life emerge in and through the interactions between ' intellectuals' , ' publics' , and ' platforms' of communication. Cutting across multiple disciplines, this pioneering work envisions a new kind of public sociology that brings together the digital and the physical to create public spaces where critical scholarship and active civic engagement can meet in a mutually reinforcing way.
