Invited Session


While much attention has been attributed to the dissemination of sociological research as a form of public sociology, teaching sociology, especially at the introductory level, has received noticeably less consideration. This session features a panel of teaching scholars who will facilitate dialogue between experienced and early career sociologists teaching introductory courses in diverse national contexts. The goal of this workshop is to make transparent the many social, institutional, and societal factors that shape individual teaching practices, and how, in return, these teaching practices maintain, shape and re-shape these contexts.

Workshop organised by the Thematic Group Sociological Teaching TG09
