The purpose of this article is to establish a discussion of the current status of sociology as a profession. We aim to identify those elements which clarify and define the professional role of the sociologist, who is not given the necessary recognition and space awarded to other disciplines within Social Sciences. The paper, first, examines the global and local context in which the profession exists. Secondly, it analyzes the elements or factors related to the situation of the profession in three proposed levels (macro, meso and micro). The challenges of Sociology run from the orientation through problems of public interest to strengthening the discipline and also establishing an academic approach that revalues applied and descriptive sociology. The conclusions provide operative ideas and action strategies regarding the sociological endeavour in order to enhance the profession.Downloads
