A Resource You Can Use: Gender and Sexualities Syllabi and Assignments
TRAILS, ASA’s peer-reviewed digital teaching resources library, is free to ASA members and now features the resource collection “Gender and Sexualities Syllabi and Assignments.” This resource collection contains assignments, lectures, assessments, activities, and more for undergraduate and graduate social theory courses.
Help Ensure the Future of Sociology: Submit Your Instructional Materials to TRAILS Today
Sociology instructors across K-12 and higher education need the support of our discipline’s leading teachers and research experts. We invite you to submit your materials to help build the pool of peer-reviewed teaching activities, assignments, syllabi, and more on:
- Race, gender, sexuality, stratification, theory, and other “controversial” topics.
- Materials that place conversations about elections, transitions of political power, and presidencies clearly within the sociology curriculum.
- Material that explicitly connects sociology to (specific) careers.
Visit the TRAILS site to learn more about how to subscribe and submit your resources.
