Dr. Danielle Lindemann wrote a book on the sociology of reality TV. She also designed a college course on the sociology of reality TV. So next week I'm sitting down with Dr. Lindemann for a primer on the sociology of reality TV.
"How does The Bachelor shed light on contemporary courtship rituals, and what can Dance Moms teach us about the meaning of childhood? Reality television shows may seem like frivolous fun (and they are!), but they are also illuminating social artifacts that reflect contemporary American tastes, cultural norms, and values."
What sociological questions do you have about reality TV?
A sample slate of final presentations for Dr. Lindemann's Sociology of Reality TV class.
