Teaching the sociological imagination: creating community in tumultuous times

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Opening paragraph: In fall 2022, I began a tenure track position at Illinois State University (ISU), as a joint hire between the Department of Criminal Justice Sciences and the Latin American and Latino Studies Program (LALS). LALS is a multi-disciplinary program with affiliated faculty from multiple colleges and departments across campus. In contrast to affiliated faculty whose main teaching responsibilities are in their home departments, as a joint hire I have teaching responsibilities in Criminal Justice Sciences (two classes) and LALS (one class). I became part of a small cohort of faculty across departments (Languages, Sociology and Anthropology, Communications, and Speech-Language Pathology) who teach Introduction to Latino Studies (LAL 109).
