Hello all! We’ve got a great line up to kick off the fall semester, with a few thoughts from co-editor Doug Hartmann on the importance of teaching sociology, a second symposium on Charlottesville over at Contexts with a pice from co-editor Chris Uggen, and some great new pieces on law-breaking in-laws, improving children’s books about disasters, and the importance of DACA.<\/p>\n

“First Day Note, 2017-2018<\/a>,” by\u00a0Doug Hartmann<\/a>. Doug offers a few inspiring words to kick of the fall semester.<\/p>\n

“I see sociology as a noble profession, vocation, a calling in the Weberian sense. And in this time of tumult, conflict, and change, I believe our work\u2014our research, our ideas, and the information and insights we produce\u2014is more needed than ever by people, in communities, all over the world.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Discoveries<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

“When Your In-Law is an Outlaw<\/a>,” by Ryan Larson<\/a>. New research in\u00a0Criminology<\/em> finds that\u00a0previously convicted brothers-in-law increase the likelihood of crime for new husbands — regardless of their own criminal histories.<\/p>\n

Clippings<\/a>:<\/h3>\n
