Engaging the Sociological Imagination (Summer 2019)
As part of the Summer@Brown pre-college program for juniors and seniors in high school, I designed and taught an introductory sociology course. This course provided an introduction to the discipline of sociology by exploring how sociology can help us understand the world we live in at the micro, meso, and macro level. The class was primarily discussion-based, though students also analyzed video clips, participated in simulations and roleplaying activities, and wrote two short papers – one reflective and one researched – applying their sociological imagination to topics important to them.

As part of my Teaching Fellowship, I designed and taught an upper-level seminar in the sociology department. This course examined sociological theories of revolutions and revolutionary change through the lens of a wide variety of empirical case studies. Classes were primarily discussion-based, accompanied by short lectures and online discussions. At the end of the course, students produced either a research paper or a piece of historical fiction with extensive endnotes.
