My recent video focuses on Zygmunt Bauman's 'Liquid Modernity'. Next up, 'An Invitation to Sociology', which should be ready later this week. Please suggest anything you want me to cover. I aim to welcome newcomers into sociology and delight those already here! #sociology youtu.be/-3UIW7isCT8

Very pleased that Sociology have published this critique of mainstream sociological theories of class by Bob Carter and me. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

My #teaching philosophy, #SociologyThroughaLens, encourages students to see #sociology in everyday life (e.g., 🖼️. 🎵, 🎂, 🏢, & 📺). Sociology is not just #theory; it is a way of understanding #identity, #inequality, #culture, and #society. Learn more: tinyurl.com/4xhme92j

A gift from my students at the end of their course - 8 years ago! I can't describe how happy this one made me! #sociology

Science often requires hard work and long hours, but a key joy is that this often provides the opportunity for the psychological state of flow -- where time stands still and you are totally absorbed by the work you do. New #FLOS vlog, our third in a six-part series on WORKING HARD.

An interesting article, if a little fatalistic. Sociology is surrendering to philosophy because it refuses to engage outside of its own bubble. We only talk to each other, and only in ways that make it difficult for outsiders to engage with us. Considering our subject matter, it's quite ironic.

Don't miss the W.E.B. Du Bois documentary tonight on PBS! #Sociology

A short video on the Sociology of Talcott Parsons. Focus is mainly on the AGIL model but it provides an overview of the main themes from Parsons work. I hope you and your students enjoy! youtu.be/cj16mv5M0Bc

"Why sociologists? Marked this shift: the impasse of knowledge, the vertigo of nonknowledge (that is to say at once the absurdity and the impossibility of accumulating value in the order of knowledge) turns like an absolute weapon against power itself, in order to dism..." - Simulacra and Simulation

How did modern Paganism evolve in post-socialist Slovakia? Over 30 years, it split into two parallel universes: rural, anti-western Slavic traditionalists and urban, progressive Wiccans. Watch my deep dive here: youtu.be/DeLVot4y5i8 #Paganism #Sociology #witchcraft #witchsky #wicca

I'm writing about the popularity of camping videos on YouTube (Outdoor Boys, Camping with Steve and similar channels) for The New York Times and am looking to speak to psychologists and/or sociologists who have experience in analysing behaviours behind YouTube trends...[1/2]

Sociology needs to do more as a discipline to reach and make itself accessible to the public. The platforms exist. They're horrible. But if we don't engage with and adapt to them, we don't engage the massive audiences they cater to. Meet the public where they are! youtube.com/@socialtheor...

The absolute spectacle of British politics right now is depressing, but at least it gives me more to show my Sociology students how correct Baudrillard was! When I first read him, I considered it an interesting, hyperbolic piece of post-apocalyptic fiction. Turns out he just simply correct.

Episode Three of the Stuart Hall show The English Stitch is broadcast today on Resonance FM, lovely to listen to Stuart teach. Very happy to have been part of it. English Conservatism is broadcast today on Resonance at 11am-12pm BST www.resonancefm.com (104.4 FM, on digital, online).

Social Theory on Film is a project that provides accessible and entertaining short films about Sociology. In the current media and political climate, public, accessible Sociology is needed more than ever. It also serves as a resource for students and their teachers. youtube.com/@socialtheor...
