The Meaning of the Graphic
The graphic on the What is Sociology page of Sociologist At Large was created for me by Kerry Meireis. I came across Kerry's site while looking for some new graphics and disovered that she creates graphics specially made for Educators. She agreed to create a graphic for my site and, being that there is no universal symbol for Sociology, after a few weeks of e-mails we finally came up with the design. Be sure to stop by Kerry's site at the link below and let her know you came from Sociologist At Large.
