Reflections on making connections between transformative learning and the development of the Sociological imagination

This paper explores a pedagogical dilemma: how can both transformative learning and the development of the sociological imagination be achieved in the Sociology classroom? The exploration of these questions is the culmination of a three year long research project. While the project did not begin with this topic, three years of working with students has led us to begin to connect the development of the sociological imagination with the development and measurement of transformative learning.
