ASA Resource Materials for Teaching The ASA Teaching Resource Center encourages the production of course syllabi sets and other instructional materials. There resources are published by the American Sociology Association to advance the teaching of sociology in secondary and higher education. Copyright 2003 American Sociology Association 1307 New York Avenue, NW, Suite 700 Washington, DC 20005 http://www.asanet.org apap@asanet.org
Acknowledgements: This collection would not have been possible without the generous responses of colleagues who sent their syllabi and class exercises in response to the call for materials. In addition to those who contributed their course plans, others contributed in less visible but still very important ways. Rebecca’s new husband, Anthony Powell, provided needed support and peace while Rebecca spent days typing. Loretta’s family slept through the night while she worked in the early morning hours on this project. About the editors: Rebecca A. Nees, MA, is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Oklahoma. Her research focuses on demographic fertility issues. For her MA thesis, Rebecca investigated the relationship between stigma and women’s depression following an abortion in Bulgaria, testing findings from the U.S. in a cross-cultural context. She has assisted courses in the family, inequality, population problems, and social statistics, and she currently teaches Introduction to Sociology. Loretta E. Bass is currently an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Oklahoma. Dr.Bass received her doctoral degree in Sociology from the University of Connecticut in 1998, and worked as an applied demographer for two years in the Fertility and Family Statistics Branch of the U.S. Census Bureau while finishing her Ph.D. Dr. Bass focuses her research on children and stratification issues, and completes research in West Africa and the U.S. She has taught courses in stratification, family, statistics, and demography.
