Instructor's resources

The Public Sociology Instructor's Manual is available to lecturers and tutors who use the book as a teaching text. It contains the following chapter-specific support material:

  • Ice breakers to facilitate classroom discussion
  • Case studies with discussion questions (which also appear on the Public Sociology support material available to students)
  • Essay questions and occasional class exercises
  • A list of chapter-relevant online video clips and weblinks (also available to students on the Public Sociology website)

In addition to this manual, lecturers can access a Multiple-choice Test Bank with questions drawn from each substantive chapter of the book, and PowerPoint lecture slides for each chapter of the text, which summarise the main content of the chapters and contain photos, diagrams, illustrations, and tables that appear in the book.

Lecturers also have access to chapter-specific further reading extracts from relevant Allen & Unwin titles and downloadable mp3 podcast summaries of chapter content. This material is available to students through the main Public Sociology website, but has been included here for ease of reference.

This section of the site is only available to lecturers and can only be entered via a password. If you are a lecturer and would like to obtain a password, please contact Allen & Unwin at academic@allenandunwin.com.
