ISA - International Sociological Association

This is an experimental course in pursuit of the idea of a global sociology. It involves conversations between sociology students at the University of California, Berkeley and scholars from around the world. Each week the conversation is recorded and then made available to a global audience through the International Sociological Association. The videos can be viewed here. There is also a blog associated with the course that can be found at http://globalsociologylive.blogspot.com/.
