38 at heart! Happy Birthday Dr. George Dickinson!!
George Dickinson: Not the Retiring Type At 82, George Dickinson is the oldest professor at the College of Charleston, so it’s only fitting that the sociology professor is also the College’s leading authority on death and dying. Anyone who spends time with him becomes captivated by his passion and enthusiasm, which may explain why
“I am an anthropologically informed historical archaeologist with a research focus on the urban archaeology of downtown Charleston. My current work focuses on The Heyward-Washington House, a historic home owned and operated by The Charleston Museum, before the current Georgian townhome complex was built. Instead, I explore the archaeological remnants of the colonial gunsmith workshop and residence at this site across two generations of free and enslaved residents(1730 to 1771) and its relationship to the broader Atlantic world.“ Dr. Sarah Platt our newest faculty member!
Meet the Team! Meet Dr. David Morris! A professor of Sociology here . Research Interests include Education and Schooling, Criminology and the Justice System, Political Behavior, and Racial/Ethnic and Class Inequality.
This week!
"With my research, I intend to better understand how social forces shape the experiences of children,
caregivers, and family networks. On the one hand, I am interested in improving the operations of
child welfare systems in the United States and abroad by integrating sociological and other
disciplinary perspectives on decision-making and organizations. On the other hand, I am interested
in more fully representing marginalized families’ experiences, so that these become more central to
the direction of research and policy agendas.
With my teaching, I aim to create the space for student growth, both personal growth and growth as
a sociological thinker and actor. To facilitate that, my courses (both in person and online) tend to
include a lot of small group interaction, writing, and activities that ask students to create and do. At
the College of Charleston, I have taught Introductory Sociology (SOCY 101), Introduction to Social
Research (SOCY 271), and Sociology of Child Welfare (SOCY 361)."

This we salute Dr. Heath Hoffmann, Professor of Sociology, who - believe it or not - had vowed as an undergraduate never to take a sociology class! At Western Washington University, Dr. Hoffmann vowed never to take Intro to Sociology because it was taught in a huge lecture hall with 250-300 students. But, for some reason, he ended up enrolling in the class and fell in love with the sociological perspective. “It just made more sense to me to examine the larger social institutions, cultural norms and settings and the social contexts that shape individual psychology,” he says.
His commitment to teaching and sociology was cemented when he met Dr. John Richardson, a Professor of Sociology. “Dr. John” gave him the opportunity to teach classes and facilitate discussion with his peers, and he loved it.
Dr. Hoffmann describes his mentor’s support:
“One day, Dr. John said to me after class, ‘Where have you been all my life? You can do this academic thing.’ His confidence in me and my love for the work stuck, and here I am.”
Dr. John’s faith in him is affirmed in Dr. Hoffmann’s ability to connect with and engage students in both face-to-face and online classes. “A lot of people assume face-to-face classes are superior,” he says, “but I have found that it's not the format that shapes students' learning but what you do with and for students in the class.”
Dr. Hoffmann has taught a first year seminar class on the War on Drugs that met once a week in a minimum security prison. College of Charleston students studied alongside 15 men who were incarcerated in the facility. They all studied the same materials and completed the same assignments. The CofC students later said that the class was the most transformative experience they had at the College.
In his spare time, Dr. Hoffmann enjoys do-it-yourself projects that allow him to improve his home or fix things that are not working as they should. He embraces the process of learning something knew and accomplishing a practical goal.
Dr. Hoffmann, the experiential learning opportunities you’ve provided your students have been life-changing, and your dedication shines through no matter what the format!! ✨👏👏
