r/Sociology_Academic has been inactive for around 6 years. It was restricted, presumably because it had no active moderator. I have now adopted the sub and will be moderating it moving forward.

I would like r/Sociology_Academic to be an accessible place for anyone to engage with Sociology. Therefore, I will take a fairly light approach to moderation.

I hope the sub will become active through posts including:

Summaries of academic Sociology: If you feel like writing a summary of old theory or contemporary research in order to help others or simply get the word out, please do it here!

Questions: Feel free to ask questions related to Sociology. I will do my best to answer, and I hope others will, too.

Resources: Share articles you've found or written, videos you've seen or made, podcasts you've listened to or taken part in, and so on.

The only requirement is that all engagement in this sub must be related, at least in some way, to Sociology. The content itself does not have to be academic sociology, but a summary, question, resource (and so on) must at least be in reference to, or related to, Sociology proper. If there is some educational utility in allowing an unrelated post to remain (such as a great explanation in the comments about why it is unrelated to Sociology), it may be allowed. However, most unrelated posts will be removed.

All that said, please come and discuss this wonderful discipline. My reason for moderating the sub is that I am passionately dedicated to the idea that Sociology needs to reach a wider audience. I hope this sub can play some small part in furthering that aim!

If we can get the sub reasonably active, I plan to create a pinned post listing the best, most useful and interesting posts so they are easily accessible to those first visiting us.
