Gender Inequality Readings
“Coronavirus is a Disaster for Feminism,” by Helen Lewis — This is a good overview of the impact of COVID-19 on women, with reference to the second shift and gender pay gap.
The Second Shift (excerpt), by Arlie Hochschild — This is a classic sociological reading on gender inequality and can also be useful for talking about research methods.
Sociological Methods Exercise
This is a useful low-stakes small group exercise that can help students learn how to formulate research questions and how different sociological research methods might be used. You can give students any manageable research “topic” but I find something related to college/higher education to work well.
