Motivation to Teach Social Action:
I would like to move beyond teaching sociology for purely academic reasons. I want the goal to be social change and research to be the avenue that helps us get there.
Course Description:
Brooke Dinsmore and I have started a chapter of the Youth Research Council in the Hampton Roads area. It's a 1-year program based on Youth Participatory Action Research where we work with local high school students on identifying issues in their community that they want to change, and then teaching them how to research the problem and enact social change. This model seems like the perfect fit for this program.
