What are some beginner sociology internet research links?

In: Sociology, Internet Research [Edit categories]

Answer:

After class lectures online or via telecourse I often am asked the question of how to do learn more about sociology online. Although, search engines can be a wonderful tool for random exploration, here are some websites worth your while:

1. The American Sociological Association (ASA) website has a section for students at all levels (http://www.asanet.org/apap/student.html). The ASA website also has the ASA booklet on careers in sociology at (http://www.asanet.org/student/career/homepage.html).

2. If the sociological theorists seem too imposing, take a look at the Dead Sociologists' Society (http://www2.pfeiffer.edu/~lridener/dss/deadsoc.html). Larry Ridener founded the site after seeing the 1989 Robin Williams movie Dead Poets Society. As the Williams character tried to get his students interested in poetry, Ridener wanted his students interested in sociological ideas. The site has
excellent links on a wide variety of sociology topics.

3. Sociology shows us that decisions that seem highly personal and individual (like the decision to commit suicide) fall into patterns. Another such decision is what to name a baby. You can see these patterns and check your own name at the U.S. Census website (http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/).
