#25 Sociologie et engagement : quelle neutralité pour le chercheur et le lecteur ?

In this video, I aim to answer questions about the relationship between social sciences and political engagement, focusing primarily on sociology. I discuss the issue of value neutrality, which is central to methodological questions in sociology. I also share some personal reflections on what I seek and find in my own reading of sociology.
