They have an interim report about why sociology needs to work with the public and why the association should make an effort to make sociological research easily available to the public. This report " Public Sociology and The Roots of American Sociology: Re-Establishing Our Connections to The Public" is available at their web site. This seems to me to apply to sociology, evaluation, research methods, and lots of other areas. Academics and people in practice should make a good effort to educate the public and make what we do easily available and understandable to the public.
