My goal is to help students de-personalise social phenomena, while simultaneously showing that sociology illuminates lived experiences in powerful ways. I aim to incubate new questions that leave students less certain about the assumptions they entered the classroom with, but also more curious and better skilled to find the answers they seek. My intention is to make visible the social forces and inequities that permeate daily life, showing how sociological thinking casts the world in new light. I meet these goals by using a diverse set of materials and balance highly interactive lectures with hands-on activities.
