Coupling career fairy tale “Fascinating Sociology Class”. How to teach sociology? The sociology of sociology
Abstract
This paper is a simple account of my teaching experience, the
aim of which is to answer the question: “How can we successfully teach
interactionism, labeling theory, grounded theory and other sociological
bases related to qualitative methods with the active participation of
students?”. Through the examples of sociologists working in the
Chicago Tradition, French sociologists working with Pierre Bourdieu,
and other examples from American sociology, I show that sociological
work is group activity. It is argued in this paper, that to make
sociological thinking understanable to students teachers may do well to
contextualize key theorists in their narrative/biographcal context. The
students learn, that sociologists are not magicians or genius individuals
who produce attractive theories. Rather, they work in collaboration with
other humans to generate knowledge. Moreoever, I demonstrate that
sociologists’ contributions are often strongly related to and influenced by
their broader life context.
