Stout, Vanessa; Earnhart, Eric; Nagi, Mariam – Teaching Sociology, 2020
Teaching race and ethnicity in various sociology courses, we found students in our classes can be very reluctant to approach the subject of race, discrimination, and racism.

Belet, Margot – Teaching Sociology, 2018
To increase students' engagement and achievement in introductory sociology courses, teachers should make them relevant to students' lives.

George, Molly – Teaching Sociology, 2013

This article fills the gap…
