I am considering turning this into a monthly open chat, what are your thoughts? Is there any specific type of content, which you would like to see here?

Hi, I'm Arxir!

I volunteered to moderate this community and would like to introduce myself and also get some input from You on what You want this community to be.

About Me

I studied Sociology at a university with an empirical and quantitative focus. In my thesis I analyzed police brutality during protests against police brutality through a relational lens.

I would like this community to not only be a bucket for links to sociological papers, news articles and blog posts, but also a place of discussion and a platform for exchange and educational/professional guidance.

My thoughts on achieving this are to provide a more detailed introduction to sociology in the side bar, a weekly open chat and to encourage You to share your thoughts and theories, because we have to open ourselves up for criticism to be able to learn. Therefore, there is no wrong thought to share here.

Now I would like to hear from You. Who are You? What are Your thoughts? What do You want this community to be? And what do You think can be done to achieve this?

Lastly, I would like to add, that if You are interested in managing this community and sharing mod duties, please feel free to write an application, where you outline your experience with Sociology and Moderating as a comment here or as a direct message. Thoughts on what you would do to improve engagement within this community are a welcome addition.

Kind Regards

Arxir

Over the last few years of making videos the most engaging and interesting criticisms of my videos have come from people who I would call Geographic determinists. People who believe that the way certain socio-political structures are shaped, is heavily dependent upon and influenced by the geography that surrounds a society. I want to make clear that I do not dismiss geographic determinism, I find it to be an interesting position, and have to concede that more often than not - geographic determinists are correct. I would merely like to explain why I, am not a geographic determinist.
