Sociology on the Syllabus

The petition is up! Please sign and SHARE petition.parliament.uk/petitions/3282…

Spoke to @Anthem_Online about the campaign, and why social science is as important as 'hard science'!

Great news. This is a much fairer system. We know the current system disadvantages students from BAME and lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Worth a couple of weeks of stress in the long run. itv.com/news/2020-11-1…

Episode 5 of the GCSE Sociology revision series is on theories on the role of the family. Great for mock revision, or for older students who are new to the subject. 📺 bit.ly/gcsesoc or search ‘allsociology’. #sociology #family #socfam #gcsesociology #allsociology

"Sociology’s orientation to the past tends to be based around an implicit consensus on the emergence of modernity as a consequence of developments in the West ... the historical record is different to that found within standard sociological understandings" thesociologicalreview.com/the-connected-…

August seems like years ago but everything I said in here is still applicable.. in fact, it becomes more so every day. Get on the retweeting case, we need more signatures!!

What are your thoughts on the risk versus benefits?

Teachers - has this impacted the content you include in your sociology lessons? thelondoneconomic.com/politics/engli…

Thinking about the ethnographic studies that could be being conducted by young sociologists in student halls across the land...

Really useful resource!

Just starting sociology and getting confused by lots of new terms? Help is at hand - check out my browsable online glossary. polity.co.uk/kenbrowne/stud…

To all the NQT and new to sociology teachers that will be nervously preparing this weekend... best of luck to you all. You're teaching THE most important subject in the current climate and the #sociologyteacher community will always have your back. Just ask and we'll do our best!

Really excited to be working with The Sociological Review. They're doing a 'sociology in schools' month during August. There's some really interesting stuff on there so go and check it out, and give the SotS blog a retweet!

NEW BLOG POST! Head of Careers and Cultural Capital, Shelley Cozens talks about her new role, her plan for her school, and explains why it's not 'just a made up job'. #sociology #teacher #bourdieu #curriculum #socintoschool sociologyonthesyllabus.org/blog/just-a-ma… @andthoughshebe1

What he said...

We think exactly the same! Our campaign is fighting to get sociology introduced to the national curriculum. Signing the petition is the first step (petition.parliament.uk/petitions/3282…), would you be willing to give us a retweet? Sociologyonthesyllabus.org if you want to know more!

With the state of society the way it is at the minute we need we need sociology now more than ever! @soconsyllabus 🙌
