HAPPY SEPTEMBER!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>News, Publications, and Appearances:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are super grateful to\u00a0Karen McCormack<\/a> for her positive and insightful review of SocImages in\u00a0Visual Sociology<\/a><\/em>. \u00a0Thanks so much Karen!<\/p>\n

We’re pleased to report that our short essay on Banal Nationalism<\/a> was published in Contexts <\/em>magazine this month.<\/p>\n

Guest Blogger Christina Barmon made a big splash this month with her post, To Sit or Not to Sit: Gendering How We Pee<\/a>. \u00a0Maybe we can get it up to 500 Facebook likes today! \u00a0If you’d like to be a part of our Guest Blogger Team, with access to the best reader submissions, send us a note at socimages@thesocietypages.org.<\/p>\n

Contributor Caroline Heldman made nine appearances on Fox and the Fox Business channel this month, in addition to writing a fantastic series marking the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina<\/a> and kicking off our Election 2012 Sexism Watch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lisa was also quoted in an Inside Higher Ed article<\/a> about the American Sociological Association’s annual conference in Las Vegas. \u00a0And she chatted for a few minutes about the sexualization of girls with sexologist Logan Levkoff<\/a> on\u00a0CKNW’s\u00a0Bill Good Show<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Course Guides:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Classes are in full swing for the SocImages team! \u00a0Gwen is getting started on a Course Guide for Introduction to Sociology<\/a>,\u00a0a list of topic-specific quality SocImages material arranged in a way that we hope instructors will find familiar and convenient. \u00a0We’d love to see more! \u00a0If you are teaching this semester and would like to be forever inscribed on our pages as a generous soul, check out our\u00a0Instructors Page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Featured Reader!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a shout out to our long-time reader and prolific idea submitter, Katrin. \u00a0Katrin is at the University of Cambridge in Politics, Psychology, Sociology, and International Studies<\/a>, researching climate change. She stumbled across the blog while searching some OECD statistics… and says she then spent the entire rest of the day flicking through ALL the other posts. \u00a0She’s also a Shakesville<\/a> superfan, as we are.<\/p>\n

Social Media \u2018n\u2019 Stuff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, this is your monthly reminder that SocImages is on\u00a0Twitter<\/a> and\u00a0Facebook<\/a>. \u00a0Learn more about your editors at\u00a0Lisa’s<\/a> and\u00a0Gwen\u2019s<\/a> websites. \u00a0And a bunch of us are having fun on twitter:\u00a0@lisadwade<\/a>,\u00a0@gwensharpnv<\/a>,\u00a0@familyunequal<\/a>,\u00a0@carolineheldman<\/a>, and\u00a0@jaylivingston<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
