Sociology for the Age of AI
An academic toolkit for understanding the future of work, inequality, and our digital world. We prepare students for the social problems of tomorrow by analyzing the most powerful force of our time: Artificial Intelligence.

View Course Hub →Learning Model: Doing Sociology
We believe sociology is something you *do*, not just something you read about. Our courses are built on a dynamic, project-based learning cycle designed to move you from knowledge to application.
The Immersive Article
Each module begins with a deep-dive interactive article, blending narrative with data visualizations and 3D models. This is your core "lecture."
The Workbook & Synthesis
You'll use a guided workbook to analyze the article, synthesize it with resources, and connect core concepts to your own career path.
Creation & Application
You will create a short video overview, presenting your analysis and demonstrating your mastery. This is where you become the teacher.
The Iterative Portfolio
There are no final exams. Instead, you will build a capstone portfolio, curating your best work to tell the story of your intellectual journey.
A Human-AI Collaboration
This platform is the product of a unique partnership between Dr. David Woodring and Google's advanced AI models. The content is researched and written by a human sociologist, then synthesized, structured, and enhanced through collaboration with AI to create a learning experience that is rigorous, relevant, and ready for the future.
