Meanwhile Grad Students

What a lovely conference! So inspiring

Your students will not always thank you for making your classroom the “fun, laid-back” class by reducing the quality and rigor of your class discussions. Especially if your class is required for their majors, they will probably need to build on what they’ve learned in your class from years to come. So for god’s sake, at least give them the tools to lay a fucking foundation.

hey guys this is my final project for my sociology 100 class.  it’s supposed to be a video on any topic we have discussed in class, so i fused together what i learned from race and social control to make this video on police brutality.  it’s pretty basic, but here i analyze how the concept of police discretion factors into the trends we see between white police officers and black citizens.  let me know what you think and i hope you enjoy!!

This is too real.

Hey all!  My name is Omi, she/her/hers,  and I am a senior sociology student at Illinois State University.  I am currently recruiting for my and my research partner’s study on genderqueer identities.  Our main research question is summarized as such: how do genderqueer individuals form an identity in a world that accommodates only man and woman? Although we are based in Central Illinois, we are able to conduct Skype interviews, and have reduced the number of interviews to simply the one-hour one.  Think of the interviews as more of a conversation than one that asks yes/no questions.  We want to emphasize your experiences and your voice to come through! If you are interested, or know someone who is interested, or have any questions, please shoot me a message on tumblr or by the email(s) provided on the flyer.  The only requirements to participate is being over the age of 18 and identify as genderqueer.  If you can’t personally participate, reblogging this post would be so helpful for us! Through our work, we hope to further social education on genderqueer identities, and promote activism through an academic lens.  I hope you are as excited about this project as we are!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is science in a nutshell

Can we please talk about how our history teacher sent a barbie to the smithsonian as proof of the presence of man two million years ago

A class average of 50 is isn’t a statement of how hard the material is. It’s a statement that the teacher cannot complete 50% of their job.

anyway kiss my ass
