Sociological Vision

Look at Colleges Through Our Glasses

Imagine

When he crafted a landmark book entitled, Sociological Imagination, mid-century American sociologist C. Wright Mills (1916–1962) was not encouraging people to immerse themselves in games of wish-fulfilling fantasy.

On the contrary, Mills was recommending, forcefully, that we connect our personal concerns to seemingly remote social forces. Only after imagining these relations—by envisioning connections and influences that cannot be observed directly—can we act effectively on behalf of ourselves and others.

Working in concert with us, students and parents develop their sociological imaginations. Applying this concept to making a good college match, you will discover a valuable new skill for many of life’s other decisions.

To hone our sociological imaginations throughout the college search, we offer three levels of service: evening conversations, half-day family workshops, and customized client packages.
