Tressie Cottom liked it

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.

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.

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.

Perhaps some fodder for discussion of economics of tourism, growing poverty in the suburbs (at the end), gentrification in the city.

It seems silly but that's why this animated explanation of the division of labor works. We return to the video later in the course when we talk about how the assumptions about "family" are never challenged in this version of social organization.

A great humorist is often a good sociologist. Chris Rock puts a funny spin on class, race and wealth in his analysis of who lives in his neighborhood. Some foul language but students can generally handle it.
