My name is Randy Lynn. I’m in my last year of coursework at George Mason University en route to my Ph.D. in sociology. My primary interests are youth, education, technology, deviance, and social networks, particularly the ways in which these dimensions of society interact with one another.
In addition to the blog, which hosts my informal thoughts regarding issues related to my sociological interests, the site also hosts syllabi from courses I’ve taught (in the Teaching section), articles, presentations, and other papers I’ve authored or co-authored (in the Writing section), as well as links to (mostly) sociological content on the Web (in the “Links” and “Articles” widgets).
Please subscribe and don’t hesitate to contact me with any comments or questions!
