Sociological Theory

A Sociological Theory Teacher takes you through the big ideas of sociology — Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Simmel and Du Bois, functionalism, conflict and critical theory, symbolic interactionism, rational choice, feminist theory, and Bourdieu, Giddens and Foucault — by asking what each theorist wanted to explain. They guide you through primary texts, coach theory papers and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Social Research Methods

A Social Research Methods Teacher takes you through how sociologists study the social world — theory and hypotheses, ethics, research design, measurement, sampling, surveys, experiments, interviews and field research, content analysis and existing data, and qualitative and quantitative analysis — by matching each method to the question it answers best. They coach research proposals, read output with you and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Race & Ethnicity

A Race & Ethnicity Teacher takes you through how racial and ethnic categories are made and what they do — core concepts, theories of assimilation, pluralism and racial formation, prejudice and discrimination, immigration, the histories of US racial and ethnic groups, and race in schools, work, housing, wealth and criminal justice — by grounding every discussion in evidence. They guide readings, coach papers and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Social Stratification & Inequality

A Social Stratification & Inequality Teacher takes you through how societies rank and reward people — theories of class and status, income and wealth inequality and how they are measured, poverty, social mobility, education, race and gender, global inequality and policy debates — by separating what the data show from what people argue about them. They read tables with you, coach papers and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.
