Submissions are invited for the inaugural meetings of the ISA’s ‘Sociological Teaching’ thematic group, which aims to bring together international sociologists who have an active research interest in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, specialize in teaching sociology, and/or incorporate sociological insights into their teaching practices. This thematic group also facilitates transnational discussions and exchange of both research findings and specific teaching practices, and encourages research, publication, and teaching collaboration in the interest of advancing sociological teaching and learning internationally. Possible session topics include and extend beyond theoretical and empirical work on the following:

  • Decolonizing sociological pedagogy (particularly in post-colonial societies)
  • Sociology curriculum in developing and underdeveloped countries
  • Examining and addressing social inequalities in the classroom
  • Interdisciplinary approaches to teaching sociology
  • Teaching sociology as public sociology
