@nvancleve @drvictorrios @tressiemcphd @reubenjmiller The earliest for me were Annette Lareau's Unequal Childhoods, Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed, Rebecca Blank's It Takes a Nation, Paul Willis's Learning to Labor, and Christopher Edley Jr.'s Not All Black and White. (Not all technically Sociology, but read in Soc classes).

@jeffwillisart Jo Paoletti's book Pink and Blue is a great place to start https://t.co/qS2zZeI3ub

@RGGonzales1 @MarioLuisSmall For talking about the how-to side of fieldwork, I've used Lareau's Listening to People and Luker's Salsa Dancing into the Social Sciences, but in future semesters I may also use Rubin's Rocking Qualitative Social Science and Gerson and Damaske's Science and Art of Interviewing

@WalkingNPR The Violence: A Novel, by Delilah S. Dawson. (fiction; shows how susceptibility to disease is influenced by geography/climate change and socioeconomic status in conjunction with race/gender/age, and also reveals health consequences of domestic violence) https://t.co/8jI6IpWdC3

Reading bell hooks's Teaching to Transgress transformed how I think about education - and the messages about learning I try to convey to my students and my kids. Her death is a profound loss for students and teachers (and all of us), though I'm grateful her brilliance lives on. https://t.co/Sfw7SxuiWH

This is a big part of why @MarioLuisSmall and I wrote Qualitative Literacy: A Guide to Evaluating Ethnographic and Interview Research. To help readers identify empirically sound qualitative research, even if they don't (or don't plan to) do qualitative research themselves. https://t.co/1L8IIyiSvc

@Jeremy_Levine That makes sense. And Constructing Community looks like such an important contribution to the field and to our understanding of what ethnography can do! I can't wait to have a chance to read more.
