Seeing the recent amount of pro palestinian protests and calls to divest from israel in colleges around the nation along with the possible ban on tiktok, i wonder, is the US going through a similar process as arab nations’ civil unrest with the rise of twitter?

Good day all, As the title states I'm looking for book recommendations for my undergrad thesis, I have almost two years left to finish it so right now I'm trying to see what is and is not currently in the literature. Because of the way the school system is designed I've become great at reading textbooks and passing tests but I am also piss-poor at reading/understanding primary text so I want to work on that. My topics are very broad right now so I am also going to try to narrow it down but my three rough ideas right now are. Food/Nutrition narratives, how did we go from not having food to vi ..read more

Hey all, Im a current undergrad for sociology and really found myself enamored for the quantitative side of research. I was hoping to pursue this into my masters, but I am currently working out the prerequisite courses for many programs near me (California) and am finding many of them to take an extra 4 school semesters to complete.

Or? What do you recommend? Thanks in ..read more

Hey guys, I'm a sociologist working on his phd. A thought crossed my mind that I can't get rid of, and that is that I should learn how to code lol. I'm deep into social sciences now so I don't intend to switch paths, but I can't shake the feeling that no matter what you study, you're lagging behind if you don't learn a programming language. I guess what I'm asking is: -What language should I learn? I wanted to focus on java because it's the most popular, but I don't know how well that compliments with social science (I know R and python are used for quant but don't necesarrily wanna learn tho ..read more
