This is another resource I’m assigning students and the way I introduced them to it:

“This short article critique of feminism as you may think of it; a call to expand its boundaries to cover women across the political spectrum and across the world. It gives phenomenal examples of “frame alignment.” You can see how this group of Gen Z feminists is reaching out to bridge the gap with other groups who care about women, but may have different warrants and conclusions to their claims than they do.”

I’m assigning this video ([The Economist’s (2025) Why Nations that Fail Women Fail]) in my social problems class with this description for my students: “This mini-documentary does an excellent job of thinking about gender expectations in many of the institutions that make up our societies (government, family, education) keep women from fully contributing to the good of the country, holding the entire nation back in terms of the forces societies need to be stable - trust and solidarity. In short, it is an excellent structural functionalist overview of how external inequalities (holding people back for things they can’t control) is detrimental to the society as a whole.”

If you are trying to figure out how to best choose and contextualize material in your #sociology classes right now, here is an example of how I decide on everything now. I find something as unsensational, but still interesting, as possible. I then explain exactly how viewing this material will help build your sociological imagination.
