Daryl Kelley, Professor
Teaching Philosophy
The classroom is an interactive place where students often engage in group work to apply sociological concepts to life experience. I am also a storyteller. Through accounts of personal experience I attempt to ground sociological concepts in concrete examples so you can obtain a deeper understanding of the relationship between the individual and society. In all of my classes I expolre the interesting puzzles supplied by our world including how our world is socially constructed. Through our everyday experience ideas and structures become normalized. In class we explore the differences between cultures and the meaning these differences have for us. For example, is berdache (Sioux who experiences both male and female perspectives) a third gender and why is mainstream America limited to two genders. If you want to play with ideas and reflect upon the world, please join me in class.
