Party in the Back

Sociology Improv

On October 27, Jeremy Freese taped a laptop to his face and Skyped into the Soc Improv for a discussion of the NRC rankings. After Jeremy left, we solved the culture of poverty. Or something like that.

Unfortunately, due to a freak editing accident, this episode is just now being posted. Sorry, Jeremy. (And sorry, Christopher Newport.)

Links discussed in this episode:

• Jeremy on the NRC rankings: one and two.
• Christopher Newport and the NRCs
• NY Times on the Culture of Poverty
• Teresa Gowan on Culture Shocks
• Ta-Nehisi Coates, A Culture of Poverty
• Culture of Poverty at Neuroanthropology
• The Mullet Strategy

Better late than never: Improv #18!
