              <text>&lt;strong&gt;Welcome to Mapping Social Theory and Sociology*&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This site has eight clusters made up of diverse thinkers: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Classical Social Theorists and Early Sociology, &lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt;    Structuralism, Poststructuralism &amp;amp; Postmodernism, &lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Symbolic Interactionists, &lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Critical Theory &amp;amp; the Frankfurt School, &lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt; Psychoanalysis, &lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt; Feminist, Gender &amp;amp; Queer Theory, &lt;strong&gt;7.&lt;/strong&gt; Globalisation, Environment, Cities &amp;amp; People Movements, and &lt;strong&gt;8. &lt;/strong&gt;Decoloniality, Southern Theory &amp;amp; Postcolonial Thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter from the &lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt; main page or browse &lt;strong&gt;Exhibits&lt;/strong&gt;. Click on a cluster and scroll down to images. Hover over the images to see thinkers names, and click to go to their works. Also search Tags or Names in the top righthand search box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each social theorist/ sociologist/ thinker primary texts, secondary resources  made up of edited articles or books with or about the author, subject area or related works. Extra resources include links to lectures delivered by the author, a video, a written interview, blog post, radio interview, or podcast with or about an author. Click on links to watch, listen and/or read. Birth, death, and place of birth details can be found either before or immediately after primary resources. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*The site is an iterative project and loose clusters will be added to. It has been built over 14 months beginning with initial discussion with Amanda Belton, Megan McIntosh, Julie Kheuns, Ashley Sutherland, and Meredith Heinze, and with their support throughout. Research assistants’, Madeleine Booth  and Joseph Daffy worked over months to meticulously add the 220 plus thinkers and references with me, and both wrangled some of the early Omeka translation challenges.  This site could not have arrived without their labours. The expertise, suggestions, generosity, and work of Amanda Belton who cast her magic to transform our google sheets to Omeka were central to this sites emergence. Late additions were possible due to Lei Hou, an RA with the Digital Studio who worked with Amanda (and briefly Alex Sherman). Dominica Meade also assisted with verifying attributions of images. Lastly, this project was enabled by Unimelb Learning and Teaching Initiative funding. Enormous thank you to everyone involved. Indebted. Liz Dean</text>
