The topics in the list of sociology topics range from the basic concepts of sociology to particular and very specific topics such as racism and family inequality. The topics varied into feminist argument for women in the family to racist ads that portray Harriet Tubman on a Google Doodle. There was a Native American ad that was to run during the Super Bowl that was criticized. This ad symbolized what many of my Native American friends (who prefer to be called indigenous) fight against in search of respect of their identity. So, I do believe that the study of sociology reaches many areas of life, if not all. I did, however, see a lot of topics in the list that had to do with culture and finding identity, another one of the topics that I am very interested in my research area.
I was particularly interested in Teaching with Data. I found it fascinating how the issues that were portrayed on this Facebook page are closely related to the issues that we find in offline life: Right-wing politics and argumentation, Obama’s State of the Union address, Economics, and inequality. The subject matter was very vast, but I did see it all relevant to teaching with and through digital media. I’m glad that I stumbled on this page that is essentially a support group for learning how to teach through multimedia.
