Technology and Faculty Networks

The latest findings from our longitudinal study of the diffusion of innovation in and adoption of cutting-edge teaching materials by teaching and learning networks are now available in the Powerpoint presentation, The Effects of Technology on the Growth of a Teaching and Learning Network. These findings were presented last month at the 2011 Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE) PI Meeting in Pentagon City.

The Powerpoint slideshow, “Findings From ASA Surveys of Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD Recipients: Implications for Departments in a Jobless Recovery,” presents findings from studies about sociologists’ participation in the non-academic job market. Other research briefs on the post-graduation paths of sociology baccalaureates and master’s graduates can be found on our website.

Now available on the website are two new PowerPoint presentations exploring different aspects of the sociology pipeline.

• Findings From ASA Surveys of Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD Recipients: Implications for Departments in a Jobless Recovery

• Homosociality or Crossing Race/Ethnicity/Gender Boundaries? Pipeline Interventions and the Production of Scholarly Careers
