Dr. Sarah Daynes earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris in 2001. Her scholarly interests include social and cultural theory, and ethnography. In her first book, Desire for Race, she analyzes the way in which race has been conceptualized in the social sciences (Cambridge University Press, 2008). In her second book, Time and Memory in Reggae Music, she explores the way in which past, present and future interact in reggae music (Manchester University Press, 2016). She also edited and translated early Durkheimian sociology texts.

It may be difficult to imagine a learning environment that does not rely mostly on merit and competition, but it is possible! I will offer some ideas and practical ways to support cooperation, limit competition, increase responsibility, and foster student engagement in the classroom—whether face-to-face or online. I will share concrete examples from my  teaching experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
