organizer, producer & presenter: Ray Olson, College of

(Please note the related session on the Sociology of Human
Rights, Session # 62 )
[This DVD video is a 50-minute documentary that addresses
concepts and questions of interest to teachers of sociology. Examples of
concepts are culture, social order, social movements, social change & birth
control. Some questions addressed: Is political stability (social order) so
crucial that it justifies the Chinese regime’s violations of human rights? Is
the Falun Gong a social movement that is so severe a threat to the Chinese
government that persecution of its practitioners is justified? Are women's
reproductive rights human rights? What are the transformations taking place in
China that make social order more important than human rights? Is the Universal
Declaration of Human Rghts an example of Western cultural values that are
foreign to Chinese civilization? Is exporting western human rights another
example of globalization? The DVD is organized into five chapters that allow
instructors to use shorter segments in the classroom, and includes an
additional 64 minutes of dialog that offers an in-depth look at each of the
issues. Commentary by fourteen scholars and activists was utilized in the
production of this film.]

two waves of the “What Can I Do with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology?”
project. This project, jointly
funded by the American Sociological Association and the National Science
Foundation, has produced detailed analyses from questionnaires completed by
almost 1,800 graduating sociology majors in 2005 and from approximately 800 of
these students in 2007. The study
provides answers to questions about the types of jobs, the usefulness of
skills, the importance of internships, the closeness of jobs to sociology
degrees, and the ways in which work careers can be satisfying for majors. The interactive workshop will both
provide information and offer faculty and departments suggestions for class
assignments, approaches to pedagogy, curricular organization, and co-curricular
activities designed to enhance majors’ work career satisfaction and the links
between jobs and degrees.]

(Please note the related session on the Sociology of Human
Rights, Session # 62 )
[This DVD video is a 50-minute documentary that addresses
concepts and questions of interest to teachers of sociology. Examples of
concepts are culture, social order, social movements, social change & birth
control. Some questions addressed: Is political stability (social order) so
crucial that it justifies the Chinese regime’s violations of human rights? Is
the Falun Gong a social movement that is so severe a threat to the Chinese
government that persecution of its practitioners is justified? Are women's
reproductive rights human rights? What are the transformations taking place in
China that make social order more important than human rights? Is the Universal
Declaration of Human Rghts an example of Western cultural values that are
foreign to Chinese civilization? Is exporting western human rights another
example of globalization? The DVD is organized into five chapters that allow
instructors to use shorter segments in the classroom, and includes an
additional 64 minutes of dialog that offers an in-depth look at each of the
issues. Commentary by fourteen scholars and activists was utilized in the
production of this film.]

two waves of the “What Can I Do with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology?”
project. This project, jointly
funded by the American Sociological Association and the National Science
Foundation, has produced detailed analyses from questionnaires completed by
almost 1,800 graduating sociology majors in 2005 and from approximately 800 of
these students in 2007. The study
provides answers to questions about the types of jobs, the usefulness of
skills, the importance of internships, the closeness of jobs to sociology
degrees, and the ways in which work careers can be satisfying for majors. The interactive workshop will both
provide information and offer faculty and departments suggestions for class
assignments, approaches to pedagogy, curricular organization, and co-curricular
activities designed to enhance majors’ work career satisfaction and the links
between jobs and degrees.]
