Open Data Policing NC | Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Being homeless a struggle - even with a $100,000 job offer | The Seattle Times - 0 views

  •  
    wonderful short read suitable for undergrads on race, poverty. criminalization, "bootstrap" and technocracy myth-making. Why can't this homeless man afford to accept a $100,000 year job?

    I track local stories now because I find my students LOVE RVA-based examples of what we discuss in class. Residential segregation is a big one of course.

A Guide to Writing a Senior Thesis in Sociology - 1 views

  •  
    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.

Sociology - 1 views

  •  
    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.

    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.
