Lia Wiley - Professor of Instruction and Advisor
Nearly everything we do as human beings is shaped by social forces and factors, Dr. Wiley truly embodies this. Sociology infects every aspect of how they interact with the social world. The sociological imagination informs everything they do. Sociology shapes how they interpret the world, interact with others, and enables them to see the world through so many different perspectives. Everything is sociology and sociology is everywhere!

Martina Sharp-Grier - Educator and Public Speaker
What does it mean to live sociology, rather than just study it? This week, I’m honored to welcome my mentor, Dr. Martina Sharp-Grier, to the mic. We explore her journey into the field, how she translates complex sociological theory into real-world action, and the vital work she’s doing with identity, to create change on a national scale. Tune in to hear how one educator is redefining passion in the classroom and empowering others to see the world—and themselves—differently.
