On tap this week is a discussion of anti-immigrant policy (well, policies) and public opinion, and Arturo offers a report on his extended voluntary exposure to Fox News.
In future episodes, we’d love to have guests sit in on the discussion! If this sounds like fun and you want to join in some time — or if you just want to give us feedback about how we’re doing — send us an email at podcast@contexts.org.
Episode number two, name number two!
This week’s show has two segments. First, we look at the fancy new iPad. We discuss its potential impact on education and publishing, as well as the political nature of the polarazing reactions the iPad has evoked. Second, Jesse shares his theory on how college basketball tournaments and rankings can help us understand white privilege.

Arturo, Jesse, and Jon introduce the first episode of The Lazy Sociologist Sociology Improv! We’ve been having such a good time recording the Contexts Podcast, we decided to start a second podcast with a slightly different format. Instead of interviews with authors of Contexts articles and other distinguished sociologists, this podcast will have informal discussions about what’s going on in the world. The idea is to have fun ourselves, and hopefully others out there will have fun listening.
In this inaugural episode we talk about the health care bill. What impact will it have in the short and long-terms, what does it tell us about American government, social movements, and political culture, and more!
