I learned today that the Department of Sociology would like me to take on a new challenge: to teach the Junior Sophister (JS) module ‘Researching Society’.  This third-year course is a step up from what I’ve been teaching for the past two years – Introduction to Sociology at the Junior Freshman (JF) level.  I’m happy to take on ‘Researching Society’ because I believe it will improve my knowledge on qualitative matters.  In a way, I see this new task as a ‘promotion’ of sorts.
