This course is about communicating sociology to non-academic audiences. We will study existing examples of public sociology via social media, podcasts, blogs, and op-eds. And we'll do it ourselves! For example, in the podcasting unit, we will practice the oral communication, in accessible language, of both the process and results of sociological research. While we will emphasize content, we'll learn the basic technology for each method of communication, such as audio recording and processing for podcasting.
