Bauman's compass
In a 'Think Piece' for the centre-left organisation Compass, entitled Bauman's Compass: Towards A Sociology of Hope, Mark Davis proposes that Zygmunt Bauman’s sociology has much to offer those who are currently seeking a new direction and a new sense of hope on the Left.
In the article, Davis argues that many of the most compelling issues that we now face can only be understood through a sociological lens. Indeed, that the relative lack of a genuine sociological literacy amongst many key decision-makers is running the risk of becoming a major impediment to effective policy making.
