A Brief List of Sociological Concepts and Terms

A Brief List of Sociological Concepts and Terms

An internship facilitates the transition from student to professional through explicit applications of academic learning to internship work experiences. Expand and customize this list to better reflect your own academic coursework in Sociology, Gerontology, Nonprofit Leadership, and your other majors and minors. Add concepts, theories, research generalizations, ideas, and insights. Review your list each day before writing the "Reflections and Applications" section of your daily internship journal entries. This "aided recall" practice will prompt more and stronger reflections connecting your academic learning to your internship experience.
