Real utopian sociology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I have never heard of real utopian sociology before. A someone who is interested psychology and sociology I'm interested in learning about this subcategory. My preliminary impression was that the topic is about a 'perfect' societal structure looks like.

Everything discussed was related to the topic and but I feel that it missed some major key points. The introduction provided valuable information regarding the history of this type of sociology but the overview section focused its attention on The Real Utopian Project and what the workshop conferences entail. Although this information is useful and adds to the background knowledge and insight as to how the project progresses, I found it slightly distracting. I don't think it is quite the type of information readers are looking for. I believe it would be beneficial to include examples of the utopia projects mentioned and what it looks like when (or if they were to) replace systems of domination. Additionally, the article fails to explain why this social science is called  Real  utopian sociology, or why the image of the sculpture is included.

With what is written the tone is neutral in explaining the orgin and background of real utopian sociology. There does not appear to be anything wrong with the linked sources themselves because they are credible and diverse, but a majority of it is from the excessive list of past conference topics (which feels unnecessary to include in the overview section). On the talk page there is conversation about merging the Real utopian sociology page with the Emancipatory social science page (but currently there is no working page for the latter). They also mention bringing in more relevant information added to the page.
