The PSA Committee on Practicing, Applied, and Clinical Sociology invite submissions for a session on the application of sociological skills and knowledge outside academia. This session aims to showcase impactful work in real-world settings and discuss the unique contributions and challenges of sociologically-informed program evaluation.

They seek submissions that:

● Demonstrate actionable outcomes from sociologically-informed evaluations.

● Reflect on barriers to high-quality research outside academia (e.g., lack of ethics review, resource limitations).

● Highlight the benefits of real-world sociology, such as broader reach and evidencebased planning.

● Provide practical insights into managing stakeholder influences and communicating findings to non-academic audiences.

● Emphasize research design and outcomes
