What are sociology blogs?
Sociology blogs are typically short-form online writing by professional sociologists. Many blogs are about particular topics, such as political inequality, or economic sociology, and so on. Some are general interest sites, such as Everyday Sociology and The Sociology Place.
What sociology blogs are still around in 2022?
There was a boom of sociology blogs in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Many have become defunct.
In August 2022, I examined dozens of sociology blogs. Here is a list of sociology blogs that appear to be active in 2022. I listed their title and, when possible, a description directly from their website.

The Society Pages (TSP) is an open-access social science project headquartered in the Department of Sociology at the University of Minnesota and supported by individual donors.

The Society Pages contains many blogs within it. It is a sort of Medium for sociology blogs. Many of them have not posted in well over a year or two, but some of them have.
