Sociology Improv

An Anthropologist, a Political Scientist, and 3 Sociologists Walk Into a Bar

Listen Later

Jon, Arturo, and Chris are joined by Jose Marichal (of ThickCulture) and Alexandre Enkerli. A wide-ranging discussion ensues, and we tackle questions such as:

  • Why haven’t we had any women on this podcast?
  • Is there anything wrong with Berkeley taking DNA samples from incoming undergraduates?
  • And when Eric Schmidt makes the distinction between privacy and anonymity, is he making any sense?

    • We also manage to start a discussion about pornography on the internet and end up talking about the failure of consensus in the Senate. Try to guess how we get from point A to point B on that one.

    Various links referenced in the episode:

    • Paula Priesse on Facebook (“Conservative comedy spoofing a well-meaning, young, progressive, and utterly hapless American woman”)
    • Is Facebook bigger than porn?
    • Facebook Privacy Settings: Who Cares?
    • WEIRD biased Psychology studies
    • Where People Position the Parties
    • Class and location-based web services
