"Teaching in the Department of Sociology at ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app has been integral to my development as both a professional educator and an intellectual. ÌýThe department’s emphasis on critical thinking and developing public sociology has been a good fit with my own interest in teaching ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app to analyze and work to change the world around them. The most profound aspect of my teaching experience has been the mentorship and trust I have gained from faculty members. ÌýTeaching in this department has given me the opportunity to develop my own teaching methods in my own classes. ÌýThis was especially the case when I was given the opportunity to develop my own upper-level class, Media and Society. ÌýIn addition to being advised by warm and friendly faculty members, I have enjoyed a sincere camaraderie with my fellow graduate ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app. The graduate ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app in this department freely share their teaching resources with one another. ÌýI consider myself lucky to teach in such a supportive, caring, and energetic department."
