I am Professor John C. Holley, and this blog is for Sociology 325 “Popular Culture in America” Fall 2008. I will be posting information for students, my own thoughts on popular culture, and commenting on the activities of this class. For my students reading this, welcome to the Sociology Department and this course on television, movies, entertainment – and especially the people who watch them. This includes us. In this course we will talk about what we ourselves are watching and post a kind of “media journal” about our use of popular culture.
