Academic Courses & Programs
The courses and programs I have created and taught are sorted below. In each one of them students learn how to clearly distinguish the difference between the ways people think through, document and tell stories about their everyday lives and the ways that scientific, academic sociologists do. They also learn how to clearly distinguish between the ideas, theories, methods and genres of scientific, academic sociology and the ideas, theories, methods and genres of other social scientists (especially anthropologists), social workers, the welfare state, news and tabloid journalists, documentary filmmakers, reality television, novelists, poets and filmmakers.
Each course and program is distinct from one another, that is, they each explore specific people, locations and topics and have different instructional materials from one another. However, they also reference and build upon one another. See for example, the courses listed under The Sociology of Place and Ancestry and my Study Around The World or London Abroad Study Program and/or, within specific course lists, [i.e., see my sociology of the family course, Home Economics (listed under the Sociology of Cultural Invention) and my sociology of the self course, Platter Licked Clean (listed under Social Inequalities)].
