My name is Randy Lynn. I’m in my third year 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 areas intersect with one another.

In addition to the blog, which hosts my informal thoughts regarding issues related to my sociological interests, this site also hosts syllabi from courses I’ve taught (in the Teaching section) and 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).
