My courses draw from the subfields of community, rural, environmental and development sociologies. I regularly teach Sociology 241, People in Places, a survey of community sociology and Sociology 330, Society and Environment, an advanced undergraduate course in environmental sociology. I also regularly teach Sociology 206, Sociological Inquiry. This is an advanced introductory course for majors which focuses on the sociological "toolbox:" critical thinking, clear and coherent writing, research design, and core disciplinary concepts. Also in the core sociology curriculum, I rotate through Sociology 300, Senior Experience, the capstone course for our majors. In this class, students design, research, write up and present an original, empirical research project. |
