[I am very pleased that Mr Pullinger has linked his presentations to this site]
My list of Sociology Presentations will gradually be extended to cover a wide range of Sociology topics including Introduction to Sociology, Sociological Perspectives, Research Methods. Theory and Methodology, Social Stratification. Sociology of Education, Power and Politics, Sociology of Religion, the Media and much more and so I hope that you will revisit this page in the future to see new Presentations
