Resumo
This article utilizes an auto-ethnographic approach to consider some of the tensions inherent in the requirements of sociology as an industry. Short production timelines, high expected output, and classical notions of objectivity continue to organize sociological inquiry, even as critical sociologists continue to question these very relations of ruling. This essay contributes to ongoing critical analyses of sociology's disciplinary paradigm and offers a consideration of the interstitial spaces potentially produced by 'slow sociology' as one possible antidote to these limitations. Productive of a borderlands epistemology, slow sociology resists the ruling relations of sociology and encourages nuanced translation work between cultures of study, cultures of habitation, and cultures of disciplined inquiry, fostering links between public society and academic endeavors.
