https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/socicrimtrentorientation/Social Profs Podcast with your hosts Beth Torrens and Kristy Buccieri.  This is the podcast where we attempt to turn teaching inside out by engaging in conversations outside the classroom with faculty, community members, and Trent student Alumni.  Our goals with these conversations are to learn more about the benefits of a Criminology or Sociology degree and to talk about the ways that students can get more involved at Trent and in the community. We will also do a deep-dive with some Trent professors,  to learn more about  their approaches to teaching, what drives their research, and a few fun facts you can only learn when you turn teaching inside out!
