I wanted to make sure that all of you know about this conference coming up on May 8 at the GC. I know May 8 is also colloquium day, so maybe it’s a good chance to make a day of it! Would love to see people in person.

Normally we would meet on May 1 or May 8. I don’t want to do May 1 and May 8 is also crazy (see paragraph 1).…[Read more]

Here are the details.

Many foundational sociology courses are part of the general education curriculum (at CUNY, also known as Pathways). How does or should this influence how we and what we teach? Hart Zhang will share his work on preparing a course proposal for pathways as a doctoral student.
We complement this with an old but…[Read more]

Thanks to everyone who participating in our very informative session with sociology chairs from across CUNY.

We are scheduled to meet this Friday, but the BRESI all day event will be happening.
We are thinking March 27 as the new date.

Also, please let us know if you have ideas for topics. In particular, if you have interesting…[Read more]

I wanted to make sure that you saw this announcement. This is a big initiative for CUNY.
The OFA professional development events are usually well organized and helpful.

This Friday’s Teaching Sociology Workshop will feature a panel of chairs from a variety of CUNY campuses starting at 4. We will have a question and answer session with them, so now’s your chance to ask what you have always wanted to ask!

We will use the second hour for updates and discussing current topics.

Here is the Zoom lin…[Read more]

Welcome back!
What we are living through right now presents a lot of good teaching topics from the profound–how to teach about and discuss challenging topics and coping with both our own and our students’ distress— to the totally practical, how do you pivot to online with little time to prepare.

Our upcoming dates are February 6 a…[Read more]

Now it turns out the not only is there an event at the GC this Friday, the Crim workshop is showing a film as part of a joint meeting with the NYU Crim workshop on the 12th.

What makes sense? Should we just plan to meet on the first Friday of the spring semester?

I’m also wondering if people want to talk right now or in the s…[Read more]

We just realized that the day we planned for the next teaching workshop is also a sociology colloquium date. We could reschedule for the 12th or we could pick another day of the week.
What do you think?
Also, planning for the next meeting Lok, Devrim and I were thinking that if we could have 3 people who would want to share and get…[Read more]

As I mentioned in Zoom, you can use R markdown to make “nice” tables. Also I have not really showed you how to make cross tabulations or summary tables.

Therefore, I am attaching two files I knitted to PDF and word respectively that illustrate this, for those who are interested. I will also upload the markdown file so you can access it wit…[Read more]
