Tell us about a subject you enjoy studying.

 Hello everyone, this time I will talk to you about a topic that I like to study. The topic I enjoy studying is research, both qualitative and quantitative. Very briefly, in quantitative research we see those topics that are dealt with numerically, while in qualitative research we see those that are not. I enjoy it because it makes me imagine issues and problems of society to investigate, and the best thing is that it gives me the tools to be able to address such issues. I have learned information production techniques, information analysis, sampling, coding, theoretical framework design, methodological design, among other things. Before studying it, I thought it would be boring and very structured, but then I noticed that, although it is quite structured, there are issues that are modified during the march. Bye!

A person I admire.

Hello everyone, this time I want to talk about a person that I admire. In the field of sociology there are many referents, great thinkers, researchers, etc. This year in theory we have seen the work of Pierre Bourdieu, which I found very interesting. Pierre Bourdieu was born in 1930 in Paris and died in January 2002. He was a teacher in France and Algeria. His work focused on the sociology of culture, education, the media, and lifestyles. Bourdieu's contribution to sociology, which I consider most relevant and interesting, is his theory of habitus. His work is not reduced only to that, but it is what I handle the most about him. He made contributions relating culture, gender, power, politics, types of capital, and other things that occur in society. I admire this person because he managed to develop a highly referenced, studied and busy theory from his ethnographic works. I also like that you can analyze everyday situations, things not so macrosocial, thanks to his habitus theory. ...

How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place?

Hello, this time I will talk about how my career can help the world to be a better place. First of all, I think it is essential to have a notion, idea or definition of what it means to make the world a "better" place. Better for whom? According to what parameters? Who are we going to lead in this task? I believe that sociology prepares you as a professional to face such questions, and therefore I believe that it can be an important tool to change the world (trying to make it a change for the better). Personally, I see myself intervening at the local, population level, in my region, in Aysén, with projects that guarantee a paradigm shift in people's actions. The broad conceptual baggage that is acquired from sociology and the tools to create new concepts, together with the impact on everyday life situations in various contexts is the greatest virtue of sociology. It serves to understand from different perspectives the why of certain situations, the different configurations...
