[SSC] The Red Pill

[Joss Winn]

Thanks, Mike, that was a really interesting read. It might be something we encourage more of at the SSC to show students and prospective students that we all come from different backgrounds and there are many ways to higher education.

When I was at the meeting I remembered about a piece I wrote a while ago for a sociology blog about my relationship with the subject. It occurred to me that sociology was very much like the red pill in the film the Matrix, where the lead character Neo takes a pill to help him see the world in a different way. I wanted to share this with you all at the SSC, because in a way, I think we all have a relationship with the red pill.
