Public social science depends on addressing public issues and informing public understanding. Simply reaching a broader public is only part of the story. Certainly a social science turned in on itself fails to achieve much public significance...making the sorts of social science we already produce more accessible is not sufficient; we have to produce better social science. This means more work addressing public issues.
