Main Opnions

Sun Liping has been advocating sociology of practice. Emphasize the need to face social phenomena in practical form, and to treat social facts as dynamic and flowing, rather than static, as in the eyes of impressionist painters, air and sunlight are flowing.

He advocated the "process-event analysis" research strategy, in order to approach the social phenomenon of practice, or to find a way to approach the social phenomenon of practice.

Sociology usually has three languages: purely academic research, facing government policy recommendations, and facing the public. Sun Liping said: "I think I speak the best of the three languages."

In the academic circle, his sociology of transformation has become more and more important, and it is generally acknowledged that it is not easy to understand it. He talks about the policy with the government, and he "makes sense". In the face of the public, his voice Several incidents, including "Lang Gu's Debate", have been closely watched by the media.

Sun Liping has a well-known point: Doing sociology research must be "fatal and interesting." "To study the real problems of Chinese sociology, you can't regard the importance as unimportant. At the same time, the study of China must be able to discuss and talk with the international academic community." This is Sun Liping's approach to scholarship.
