The Southwest Ohio Council on Higher Education estimates that more than 90 percent of the Miami Valley’s college students switched to online learning in early March. That means that approximately 135,000 students are not in the classrooms of local colleges and universities. Danielle Rhubart is a lecturer at the University of Dayton. She’s teaching 140 students this semester, and she’s noticed a lot about how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting them.
One of my favorite classes to teach is Principles of Sociology. At the beginning of each semester we cover a concept called - the Sociological Imagination. It was developed in the 1960s, by a sociologist named C. Wright Mills. Mills argued that each of us needs to have this thing, called a sociological imagination. Having this would allow us to see how history and bigger events in society impact our personal lives, and the lives of others.
