“…Sociologists have the opportunity to move a new concept like social desire paths forward using the theoretical grounding provided by long-standing work on the sociology of interests (Swedberg 2005a, b) and social mechanisms (Gross 2009) combined with our vast array of social science methods and recent learning on the pitfalls of applying sociological findings to policy (Clawson et al 2007). …”

“…Second, the direct civic or political engagement of sociologists that Burawoy holds to be a necessary precondition for making the discipline publicly relevant is just one way by which they can be involved in a dialogue with the public. As Patterson (2007) convincingly argued, sociologists do not have to be actively involved with movements within civil society in order to be publicly engaged.

(Clawson et al, 2007;Feagin & Vera, 2001) No que diz respeito aos levantamentos participativos, diversos avanços na academia ocorreram a par tir de pr ovocações e estímulos originados fora de suas quatr o par edes. Como destaca Chambers (2007), a prática de lev antamentos participativos teve sua origem e ev oluiu na e da experimentação prática de membr os e técnicos de organizações não-governamentais envolvidos em trabalhos em ár eas na maioria das v ezes rurais e subdesenvolvidas, em par ticular na Índia.…”
