✨ The response to this year’s #ASA2025 Teaching Preconference has been incredible — all 60 faculty slots are filled and we’re down to just 5 spots left for students!

Is this post a really good juxtaposition between the #structural-functionalist and #conflict perspectives?

Asking because I think it is and would love to chat about it!

How to Protest Safely in the Age of Surveillance Law enforcement has more tools than ever to track your movements and access your communications. Here’s how to protect your privacy if you plan to protest.

The Wired dropped their paywall for this article on tips for protesters.

It, and The Wired’s making it freely accessible, would be great materials for a class on #socialmovements #teachingsociology

@easysociology.bsky.social - I was getting ready to paste my comment, “this would be great to include in your introduction to sociology class” on most of your posts.

I decided posting with a #teachingsociology flag would be far more efficient and help more people find all of your great ideas!

This would be excellent for an Introduction to Sociology class!

Check this out if you want a greater social scientific understanding of the intended and unintended consequences of governing institutions.

This could also be a fantastic resource to help you prep for yours! #teachingsociology

Join us for another year of thoughtful, practical, and inspiring conversations about the work we do in the classroom. 🏫📚

I know that using hashtags is a somewhat uncool elder millennial practice. I’ve accepted and am owning it. It helps me keep things organized!

I’m going to use this screenshot for a question in class where I ask “which sociological perspective best aligns with this poster’s words?”

Yea or nay - using this instance to help teach about popular culture in my #sociology classes?

If you read the article, this is the second time they’ve done this and this seems like a nostalgia moment among the orcas. But I am never going back to low-rise jeans.

I’m hoping that we can get enough posts to start a #teachingsociology feed!

I just saw this on Reddit and wanted to share it here for anyone who may be teaching #sociology! I will add this to my materials for #socialproblems and #socialinequality classes. I think it would also be good for intro and deviant behavior classes.
