I teach three courses at Indiana University. Work in the New Society is a mid-level undergraduate course that explores work through a sociological lens, focusing on the barriers that women and people of color face in the workplace. Race and Ethnic Intergroup Relations is a writing-intensive upper-level undergraduate course that focuses on race and ethnicity across a number of domains, including nation-state formation, residential segregation, and everyday interactions. Advanced Research Techniques is a graduate-level course on research design. It is a blast to teach each of these classes. I’ve included links to the current syllabi below. This semester (Spring 2022) I’m teaching the undergraduate work course (SOC-S 315) and the undergraduate race and ethnicity course (SOC-S 410).
I also received the 2021 Trustees Teaching Award from the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University. What an honor! Wait until they find out I teach the dreaded Critical Race Theory.
Sometimes I’ll write letters of recommendation for my graduate students and undergraduate students, and then often times they go on to do great things. And then, if I’m lucky, they’ll send me a nice thank you note. Here is a real thank you note I received:
