Hi, everyone!
I major in Sociology at the university.
Sociology covers a wide range of topics.
For example, education, poverty, cultural interaction, anime・・
As my graduation thesis, I plan to focus on
"differences in career choice between men and women" and
" how to take a good balance between work and life(private life)."
If yor're interested in sociology, please discuss various topics.
I'm also looking forward to your advice, if you study sociology.
I'm interested in other disciplines, so please tell me about your major!

� I did my undergrad degree with a double major in sociology.
I am interested in sociological theory (mostly Simmel, Schutz, Heidegger, Husserl, C. Wright Mills and Talcott Parsons). My research areas were mostly in "positive deviance" - that is deviant or liminal action that is not deemed to be illegal or immoral (like: innovation, genius, carnivals, pregnancy, high risk work and risky sport)- and risk-taking.
My honours thesis was on the medicalisation of pregnancy.
Then, I taught sociology at the University of Canberra and Monash University.
My PhD in sociology focussed on the ways in which people explain voluntary risk-taking, with research in the areas of parachuting and downhill MTB racing.
Happy to discuss sociology anytime.

Thank you for nice comments!
I get interested in why some people become risk taker and
how these phenomenon affect societiy.
I'm also interested in the medicalisation of pregnancy.
I read the article on how such medicalisation has changed
our perception of birth.
Could you tell us about it in detail?

I'm not interested in sociology. I'm curious why people waste their time on it. Why these people don't choose a real major like engineering, computer science, biology.
Live your own life instead of analyzing everything.
It's sorta like having a music or TV addiction. It's a "oh i wonder" addiction.
The best thing that can come out of this is another "oddly enough" book. The more likely thing to come out of this is just wasting time and money to satisfy the wackodemics.
Might i recommend a more social addiction like heavy drinking. Or chasing tail.

My PhD thesis focused on extreme sports. I found that the actual mathematically calculated risks of these sports had no direct sociological connection to the way in the risk-takers justified their risk-taking.
In fact, the mathematical and psychological aspects of the risks took second place to the shared social dynamics of each risk-taking groups. They used their shared vocabulary and experience to justify risk to: themselves, as individuals; their peers, and; and those outside the group.
Actually, it was the inside the group or outside the group dynamic was the most important in understanding and justifying risk-taking.
I did not extend the research to other areas (no time or money, and now I don't work for a university), but I guess the same social processes are common in lots of social groups (especially those with a strong sense of who is "inside" and who is "outside" their social group).

Thanks for the comment.
A summary...? Hmmm... it is tricky, but I will give it a try.
My honours thesis looks at the way pregnant women and the medical profession spoke in very different ways about the same thing: the pregnant body. I saw that the pregnant was body was in fact a Simmelian event: an embodiment of the dualism of opposed categories:
- a lived-in biological entity; and
- a medicalised scoail construct to be examined and controlled.
The first of these is a category of biological giveness and the second, a social inscription on the body (the need for discoursive control and production of bodies - Foucault).
My aim was to cut a path between the two positions, of sociological and biological determinism.
Ummm... in other words, pregnant women's experience of their bodies was a lived, painful and powerful experience. The medical profession's description of a pregnant body was as a construct to be controlled and monitored. These often came into conflict, especially at birth.

Thank you for details!
I read them again and again because they contain meaningful sentences
and some of them are a little beyond my understanding.
I'm curious about the conflicts between a pregnant woman's experience
and The medical profession's description of a pregnant body.
Why did you get interested in this theme?
>Everyone
This topic is about not only sociology but also other disciplines.
It is very stimulating for me to listen to the short introduction
of each theme by the expert.
psychology, biology, astrology, literature,
cultural studies・・・・
I can't enumerate all!
I'm looking forward to your short lecture for beginners like me.
