Mobilizing Public Sociology combines theory and scholarly perspectives with a grassroots approach to challenges that Latin@ immigrants face in the U.S.

Mobilizing Public Sociology, coedited by Victoria Carty and Rafael Luevano, combines theory and scholarly perspectives with a grassroots approach to challenges that Latin immigrants face in the United States. Public sociology calls for scholars and community activists and practitioners to engage in dialogue and to work together in the struggle for social justice. The contributors to this collection - scholars, immigrants, practitioners, and community activists - share their scholarly perspectives and personal experiences on a wide range of issues related to immigration.

Victoria Carty, Ph.D. (1999), is an activist scholar and associate professor of sociology at Chapman University. She is the author of Social Movements and New Technology (Westview Press, 2015). Rafael Luévano, Ph.D., S.T.D. (1990), is associate professor in the Religious Studies Department at Chapman University and serves as the university’s Roman Catholic chaplain. He is the author of Woman-Killing in Juárez: Theodicy at the Border (Orbis Books, 2012).
