Sociology, Jamie Dolan
- Social Science Research Methods - Content Analysis Exercise The purpose of this exercise is for students to practice doing a content analysis project from beginning to end, but in a quick and fun way. Find a data source appropriate for content analysis; it is best if that source can be shared in real-time so that the activity can be done together in class. I use a film of commercials such as "London International Awards: World's Best Commercials ."
- Violent Crime in the U.S. In this exercise, we're going to examine data on violent crime from the two national data sources. We'll compare rates over time as well as compare rates across the two datasets.
- Gender and Work - Looking into Gendered Household Labor with the GSS In this project, we're going to take a look at data on perceptions of household labor and other related matters.
