Share this content:

Pawan Dhingra talks at Harvard College about the sociological imagination. Why not share this video with your students?

Hands up if you've done the "what will happen if I drop my car-keys?" thing with your students!

This talk is great for explaining to students the difference between sociology and common sense, introducing concepts like social construction and the sociological imagination. Whether you share the video or just borrow some of the ideas for your own lessons/explanations, it's definitely worth watching.
