Ulrich Beck and Richard Sennett. They seem to know their stuff.

Thanks!

Try Goldsmith University in London.

Friends, I'm trying to delete some thing from my S.O.P.so I don't look like the weaker candidate.What are some things which should never be included in a S.O.P? How do I make myself look like the alpha candidate in a S.O.P? Thanks, HM

is this at uic?

Anyone else applying to PhD Sociology program at University of Illinois at Chicago?

Honestly,I've never heard of her name until now.There are so many sociologists out there trying to make a living and so little time to keep up with all of their works. Still,thanks for mentioning her work!

Thank you!

Yes the societypages/socimages blog is known to me. I'm also a big fan of Contexts magazine! HM

Howdy friends: After the elementary school shootings in Connecticut I really got interested with some of the fine photographic work by Kyle Cassidy. Especially his powerful set of photos in the book Armed America got me thinking more about guns and political culture. Likewise, there is so much fruitful stuff that amateur photographers do that often intersects within in the fields of poverty and social politics For someone who is constantly thinking outside of the academic box, I wonder if plain photography (or sociologists using more photography in their work)might make sociology actually more radical and useful to the lay-public. What do you yall think? Could sociology mix with a little photography on the side?.Would it be embraced by sociology institutions or face rejection and even visual censorship? Link to some works by Kyle Cassidy: Armed America (Sorry in Spanish, I think) http://blogs.20minutos.es/trasdos/2012/12/20/armas-eeuu/ PS: He is also working on another book called War Paint which is on the symbolism of tattoos worn by members of the Armed Forces. Let me know what you think, HM :

Panama Slim: By the way I really enjoyed the photos on your blog. I've always considered doing a little photography while expanding my career possibilities in sociology.By the way,are you familiar with some of the work by Kyle Cassidy? http://www.kylecassidy.com/ take care, HM

Howdy: I was wondering if it might be possible for some of the current sociology instructors and advanced PhD fellows in the gradforum to share some of the favorite sociology teaching books. While many like to use those heavy Soci introduction books by Pearson and Norton, I'm really stuck with this core dichotomy sociology book and enjoy using it for 1st semester and 2nd semester sociology students. Core Sociological dichotomies also make for excellent little homework assignments which can be used throughout the entire semester! http://books.google.com/books/about/Core_Sociological_Dichotomies.html?id=DEExO1mBv1EC Let me know what you think of this book, HM

Thanks for sharing the powerful video. I was wondering if you could reframe your question a little so I could figure out what you are asking. Coming from a Marxian background, I'm thinking that this video clearly strengthens the classic argument of the Reserve Army of Labor problem and the lack of affordable housing in the city. HM

Howdy: Having received my Masters degree in a European country about 8 years ago, I was never forced to take the GRE or grad entry examinations for admission. Sadly, now I am having to take it to enter into PhD programs.Like most of my fellow European counterparts, I'm starting to think that the GRE( like most other graduate entry- exams) is like playing the academic lottery. For that reason, i'm honestly thinking about taking the GRE without any major preparation or studying whatsoever. Not sure if anybody has ever succeeded with this plain strategy,but I want to see if I can get a minimal score to allow me in some low ranking PhD Social Science program. Let me know what you think.... HM

I did not even bother applying this year...so no benefits for me.
