Having checked in with Katie about where we are in our project, we have both come to the same conclusion about the dearth of sociology tiktok. After our preliminary research phase, we have started to think about what tiktoks we want to make for our page.
Our brainstorm for videos include: Intro to our channel videos, Mill’s The promise, Durkheim regulation and integration, looking glass self, Soc of deviant behavior , Cultural capital , Social habitus, Conflict theory, The iron cage, Concerted cultivation and natural growth, The history of skin color / race in America, The privileged poor, The diversity bargain, Communist manifesto (communism 101), symbols, symbolic interactionism, construction of gender (possibly the egg and sperm science textbook example?).
Because TikTok videos are so short, we need to keep the topics pretty small.
I have also identified several more TikTok sociologists including @yoursociolyprofessor (a very small account), @anarchobestieism (a larger account about “sociology and statistics” and “anarchist tendencies (commie)), @tahaliavevo (very small account with a series of videos about the sociological imagination).
My first goal is to write the script for C. Mills’ the sociological imagination.
