Chapter 17 in Teaching Introduction to Sociology, 2026, pp 196-207 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides instructors with strategies and resources to support diverse student populations in their Introduction to Sociology courses. The authors delineate asset-based approaches to serving diverse student populations including high school students, first-year students, students as emerging leaders, English language learners, and first-generation students. For each student population, the authors provide relevant context and perspective and suggest concrete assignment models that instructors could adapt for a wide range of course modalities.
