Teaching Sociology Using The Wire?

4/1/2011

24 Comments

 
Academics love The Wire. Well, almost everyone loves the Wire, but academics really love the Wire because they can use it as an amazing teaching tool. For example, William Julius Wilson has used the Wire to teach urban inequality at Harvard; it is used in sociology at York University; students watch it to learn social anthropology at Duke and in other social science courses. Academic books have been written about the Wire and conferences have debated the significance of the show. A variety of instructors in other disciplines have also built their courses around the Wire (click here for syllabi in an ethics , a communications, and a criminal justice course). We have a clip from The Wire on our site, and we hope to add more soon.


So, I have been thinking about how to restructure my sociology class on social problems around The Wire. And besides, I think my students are getting annoyed that I talk about it all the time and it’s time to really start assigning full seasons for class. But while some non-sociologists have posted their syllabi online, I have not found many syllabi or other resources for teaching The Wire in sociology classes. Have you used it to teach sociology? What worked and what didn’t work for you? If you wouldn’t mind sharing your ideas, please comment with links to resources or send me an email (pdean <at> socy.umd.edu). Cheers to the best show of all time!

THIS IS REAL. I REPEAT, THIS IS REAL. The black mirror is real, the black mirror is really powerful, effective and 100% reliable. My name is Walter Brian, I want to thank Dada Magical for giving his black mirror to me. Since he gave me his black mirror, I became rich, successful, protected, informed and powerful. I was browsing through the internet one day when I saw multiple testimonies on how Dada Magical has helped so many people with his black mirror. I thought it was a joke at first but I gave it a try and contacted him. He sold the black mirror to me and told me how to use it and all that I need to do. I followed the instructions just as he told me and to my greatest surprise, it worked just as he told me. The black mirror is still working for me. The mirror also brings good luck, blessings and information. Contact Dada Magical now on his email; [email protected] and he will help you also with the black mirror just the same way he helped me. Thank you Great Dada Magical.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO RECOVER YOUR LOST CRYPTO WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF ICC COMPANY:
Hello everyone, the world of fiat currencies can be a scary place to navigate, especially when there are large sums of money at stake. After losing access to my fiat trading accounts due to a phishing email mishap, I became panicked and desperate. It was a terrible experience and I thought I had no other choice. As I went back and forth, I searched for a few recovery companies online and read customer recommendations and reviews. After careful research, I came to the conclusion that IRON CLAD CYBER RECOVERY's services are worth it. With their sophisticated and robust technological firewalls, my case was diagnosed, a customized recovery plan was designed and followed, and IRON CLAD CYBER RECOVERY was able to recover my stolen fiat money in less than 72 hours. Their performance was technically satisfactory. Their efficiency and commitment to customers is truly unmatched. I appreciate them for their help. And I would like to recommend them to anyone out there who has lost their wallet passwords or seed phrases or is involved in systemic scams. For timely recovery, please contact IRON CLAD CYBER RECOVERY. Email Address: Iron clad cyber @ techie .com, W/App: +1-6-2-3-6-8-8-8-8-1-5

HOW I RECOVERED MY $38,000 from coincrypto. tech

I'm forever grateful to Jetwebhackers for their remarkable assistance in recovering the $38,540 I had lost to a crypto scam. This amount was meant to cover my husband's urgent hospital bills, and I was deceived by a fraudster posing as Agent David, who promised me a return of $380,940 - but it was all a scam. Thanks to Jetwebhackers' expertise and dedication, I was able to recover not only the initial investment but also the profit I was promised. Their help has been a blessing to my family, and we can now focus on my husband's recovery without financial stress. I highly recommend Jetwebhackers to anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams. They are professional, efficient, and compassionate. Thank you, Jetwebhackers, for your exceptional service and support during a difficult time!"CONTACT THEM VIA

I lost $303,450 with a fake crypto investor. I am Kenneth Brown and here is my story. Of course, they advise us to do a good background check before deciding where and when to invest. But they entirely forget that the scammers have a "clean" background record. So you will find all the good reviews and ads about them when you research. Mine was no different. They looked legit, and I made my deposits, plus more deposits when chasing my withdrawals. I reached my limit and knew I had to get my money back no matter what. I did some deep searching and finally decided to try out SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY. And guess who had their total investment money back in approximately 20 hours? The good thing about this hacker is that they only require the transaction information and the hacker's address, and everything else is on them until the money is fully back. Reach them by email: (swiftrecoveryservice006 @gmail .com) or WhatsApp number: +1 (786) 684‑0501. Or Telegram: @SWIFT_HACKING.

My humble regards to everyone reading comments on this platform and a great thanks to the admin who made this medium a lively one whereby everyone can share an opinion, I am Mr. Tanisław Aureliusz, from Lodz, POLAND but live in London, UK. I'm an Engineer by profession, I had a serious health issue that took me a few months to get back to work, during this period of some months I came across an advert with a lot of good comments under the trading broker platform. I was very interested so I decided to contact the trading platform and invest with them, after my first deposit I was told there was an increase in buying stocks so I had to send another money and this whole thing continued for a good 8 months. before I could realize I was already bankrupt when I discovered that I had been scammed for a total sum of $414,910, I tried to get some recommended hackers online but I ended up getting scammed of an additional $15k, it hurt me so much, I already gave it up but then I came in contact with SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALST who I also message directly via email: [email protected]  OR [email protected]
and he responded to me urgently and helped me to get back all my funds, everything was sent to me at once. SACLUX COMPTECH SPECIALST proves to me that scammed crypto can be recovered. Thank you for all you do.

My name is Thomas from Germany. My cryptocurrency was stolen, which was an unfortunate thing for me. The situation started when I got an email at work alerting me to an attempted login from Indonesia on my wallet. The email directed me to a link where I could reset my password. My computer froze for several minutes after I clicked on the link. After rebooting, I saw that my wallet had been compromised and that all of my funds had been removed. However fortunately for me, thanks to OPTIMISTIC HACKER GAIUS, I was able to recover my stolen funds. You can also contact them if you require their services

I'm willing to talk about my experience investing in bitcoin. You can, however, get your stolen bitcoins back. I was taught that recovering bitcoin was impossible, therefore I never thought it was conceivable. I recently lost close to $99,000 after falling for a forex scam that promised absurdly large returns. I looked everywhere for assistance before finding a Seeker Assets Recovery article online. When I contact Seeker Assets Recovery, my excitement was once more total. Get in touch with Seeker Assets Recovery as soon as possible. They are a registered hacking group that can help with a quick and efficient bitcoin recovery. Contact Seeker Assets Recovery at:
