Why I Teach at SPU

约书亚汤姆, Associate Professor of Sociology

“I teach sociology because I think people are the most interesting things in the world, sociology offers a powerful toolkit for exploring the things we take for granted. Studying this discipline also has a way of drawing out important virtues — values like self-reflection, humility and grace for others- and it’s exciting to have the opportunity to pass on those experiences to others.”
