Thank you.

If every sociology student agreed on everything, the discipline wouldn't be as interesting as it is. It's interesting to watch the horrified look on people's faces when I say I'm relatively interested in the work of Robert Merton and that, although I disagree with Charles Murray, I do applaud him for igniting such a controversy (after all, controversies inspire people to do further research in order to oppose them). This is especially the case studying at a university for which the department specializes in feminist theory, other forms of critical theory and qualitative approaches, specifically. Any reading I do into classical theory, functionalism, macro-level theories, quantitative methods and the like tend to be personal readings.
