RSVP to this event

The Public Sociology Association is thrilled to invite you to a conversation with Jon Wynn on Friday, October 24th at 3:00pm via Zoom meeting. The link is available in the RSVP confirmation.

Jon Wynn is a Professor of Sociology at University of Massachusetts Amherst and recently published his first novel, The Set Up. In an effort to make sociology more accessible (read: fun) to read for his undergraduate students and the broader public, Jon brought sociological perspectives to the "glitz of the strip" and "the grit of Sin City's strip malls" in his debut mystery thriller.

If you want more info about The Set Up before the event, click here to read a Q&A in Contexts magazine and click here for an instructional study guide that accompanies the book. You can purchase a copy of the book here or an audiobook here.

We hope that you will join us to hear more from Jon about how fiction books can offer meaningful sociology to a broader audience at a time when this work is more important than ever.
 
Join us Friday, October 24th at 3:00pm on Zoom.
