30882 - Reimagining the Future of Teaching Sociology
Sun, August 10, 2:00 to 3:30pm, Swissotel, Floor: Concourse Level, Zurich CDescription
Paralleling the broad conference theme, content in this session explores the way that the work of teaching sociology has been reshaped and reconfigured in recent decade(s) by and through many social phenomena including social media, generative AI, content challenges to our field of study, declining student enrollments, dwindling department sizes, and emphases on career readiness, just to name a few. In considering these recent changes, projections of what these changes might mean for the “future of teaching sociology” for all career stages are highlighted, with emphasis on what the future might hold for graduate students anticipating academic careers in sociology.
