DESCRIPTION:Faculty Spotlights feature presentations by faculty members\, g
 iven on disciplinary and departmental areas of interest and expertise. Duri
 ng this event\, we will provide a sneak peek of the classroom atmosphere\, 
 introduce key ideas central to the study of Sociology\, and feature faculty
  work currently being done in our department.\n\nAs a part of the broader B
 ear Beginnings programming\, the WashU Department of Sociology invites firs
 t-year and transfer student to attend our Faculty Spotlight session\, featu
 ring Prof. Jake Rosenfeld. His presentation\, "Talking About Pay: Who Does 
 It\, Why So Many Are Embarrassed By It\, and Why Your Boss Hates It" will p
 rovide a foundational overview of what pay inequality is\, how it manifests
 \, why it is a problem\, and how the field of sociology seeks to measure\, 
 explain\, and ameliorate it. We strongly encourage students who are interes
 ted in economics\, political science\, social work\, business and finance\,
  community organization and advocacy\, law\, public health\, social justice
  and activism\, critical thinking and social theory\, and civic engagement 
 to attend this presentation. If you don't know what sociology is and what i
 t is all about\, this is a fantastic\, low-stakes opportunity to learn - ev
 en before the semester starts. So many of our students wish that they had d
 iscovered sociology earlier in their college careers... Get a head start th
 rough this Faculty Spotlight presentation! Prof. Jake Rosenfeld's research 
 and teaching focus on the political and economic determinants of inequality
  in the United States and other advanced democracies. He is primarily inter
 ested in the determinants of wages and salaries\, and how these vary across
  time and place. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University.\n\nWe inv
 ite all students to participate in our Departmental Open House earlier in t
 he day (10:00 a.m. - 11:30 p.m. in Seigle Hall\, Suite 213) to preview what
 's to come in this sure-to-be-engaging presentation!\n\nStudents must atten
 d one session from each of the three core disciplines within the College of
  Arts & Sciences: Humanities\, Social Sciences\, and Natural Sciences. This
  presentation will fulfill the Social Sciences component of the Bear Beginn
 ings Faculty Spotlight requirements.\n\nQuestions prior to the event? Or\, 
 just want to get a head start in exploring the possibilities that WashU Soc
 iology can present? Check out our website or contact our Academic Coordinat
