Helpful handout for how to write a thesis statement from "Writing for Sociology". I am finding it very useful for upper division students in my writing intensive courses.

we see, for example, innovative school programs showing great success in serving immigrant English language learner high school students, we may want to know more about the nuances and factors in place. Such findings will help develop more contextualized understandings of how the programs actually work to improve youth outcomes. With such deeper understandings, study findings may be more likely to inform interventions in other settings or encourage policy or funding decisions to support program expansion.

This handout introduces you to the wonderful world of writing sociology. Before you can write a clear and coherent sociology paper, you need a firm understanding of the assumptions and expectations of the discipline. You need to know your audience, the way they view the world and how they order and evaluate information.

A recent large-scale study has found that the more often students take courses with at least 40 pages of reading a week *and* 20 pages of writing in a semester, the greater their gains on the Collegiate Learning Assessment. So, all things being equal, these are good minimums. really good and relevant to our conversations in the department about standards,etc.

It's Harvard. It's a handout for undergrad senior theses. But, I think it is a good model of the kind of information we discussed preparing for our MA students on writing a thesis. I believe it has CC license so we can crib a bit. I'd love to see a VCU branded version of this for Sociology.

Came across this. It is an example of the kind of digital sociology projects I can imagine our M.Sc. students doing. With some additional critical analysis and writing to demonstrate they get the theory, this could be a good applied project.

Tressie Cottom liked it

For example, he cites a National Science Board study that shows that of the 19.5 million STEM degree holders, only 5.4 million actually work in those fields.

The precariat, including STEM workers, are losing control over their time and the use of their capabilities, which represents a different situation than what the proletariat faced 150 years ago. Standing writes, that “the precariat has distinctive relations of production, or labour relations they [flit] in and out of jobs, often with incomplete contracts or forced into indirect labour relationships via agencies or brokers.” In essence, the precariat can be seen largely as a class of contingent workers regardless of education level.
