All Walks Sociology

All Walks Sociology is your gateway to understanding the forces shaping our lives, communities, and democracies—locally and globally. Created by sociologist Mark Durieux, this podcast brings critical, accessible, and globally informed sociological analysis to the public. Each episode unpacks the hidden structures behind current events, policy debates, and everyday experiences, drawing on classic, contemporary, and emergent (grounded) sociological theories. From introductory sociological discussions to the front lines of social stratification, urban sociology, economic sociology, environmental sociology, political sociology, sociology of families, the interface between GenAI and sociology, and much more, All Walks Sociology connects the dots between personal troubles and public issues. We highlight how power, policy, practice, and meaning-making intersect—whether in North America or around the world—so listeners can see beyond the headlines and recognize the deeper patterns at play. Whether you’re a student, educator, activist, or simply curious about how society works, join us for conversations and analyses that equip you with the tools to question, connect, and act. Sociology isn’t just for the classroom—it’s survival knowledge for democracy.
