" I always involve my students in my research, often writing articles with them. Our students are given opportunities not only to learn the languages of the countries they work on, but also to visit and spend time in them, thereby enabling them to produce original work. If you want to touch the world and make a difference, you need to understand the dynamics behind what makes your society and the world tick and only sociology can provide you with the tools to attain that understanding.
