Sociology 790A - Teaching Sociology

This class is designed as a collaborative workshop and discussion space, to introduce the practices of teaching sociology. In addition to being a practical preparation for teaching your first class, we will explore a range of pedagogical approaches, and tackle how to create an inclusive classroom, generate classroom discussions, create a fun and engaging learning environment, connect with your students, and manage difficult situations. We will investigate how our identities shape our teaching experiences, and explore how to maintain a balance of work and life. You will leave this class having developed materials you can use in future courses, including syllabi and teaching activities.

Open to Graduate students only.
