Founder and Author, with Gwen Sharp, of the blog Sociological Images: Seeing Is Believing (www.thesocietypages.org/socimages). Sociological Images is a website designed to encourage all kinds of people to exercise and develop their sociological imagination by presenting brief sociological discussions of compelling and timely imagery that spans the breadth of sociological inquiry. We receive about 500,000 visits per month and are followed, additionally, by over 20,000 individuals subscribed by RSS feeds, over 20,000 via Facebook, over 10,000 on Twitter, and over 5,000 on Pinterest. We are partially syndicated at Ms. magazine and Jezebel, are regularly featured at popular websites, and are used as a source of sociological commentary by national news outlets.

Sociological Images posts are frequently re-posted at Jezebel, Ms., Racialicious, PolicyMic, and The Huffington Post.
