This article challengedsociologists with a variety of questions about the role, relevance and methodological opportunitiesfor sociological research in the 21st century. On publication it stoked the already charged debateson a public sociology (Burawoy, 2004), the role of publicly funded research (ESRC, 2009) andrelevance of sociological research in an age of burgeoning social media (Brewer and Hunter,2006).
