Sociology Reloaded: November 2005

Updating critical sociology for a new century. Friday, November 11, 2005. Reading the initial 1930s Superman comics reveals a remarkably modern gender world. Lois Lane is far from the "girl reporter" she becomes in later years but appears as an assertive, intelligent professional.

To the casual observer who travels only to the business and tourist sector, New Orleans appears well on its way to being rebuilt. But our admittedly minor expedition revealed that the rebuilding is incredibly unequal and unjust. The government failure is monumental. Our collective ignorance of this continuing failure is unforgiveable. Posted by Dan Krier at 11:20 AM.

Updating critical sociology for a new century. Tuesday, October 11, 2005. Sociology Reloaded Recruiting Poster #4. Caveat: The ASA Website lists Williams as a sociology major but I have not been able to confirm it. Most websites list Williams as a student of political science BUT it appears from the Claremont website that sociology is folded into the government department. Williams dropped out of Claremont sometime in the early 1970s to attend acting school. Posted by Dan Krier at 4:44 PM. Four Images fr...
