Some Interesting Resources for Human Science

There are lots of places on the internet to turn to for information about the Human Sciences. Here are some of my favorites.

 
 

Crash Course Sociology

This is the single best place to go for information on Sociology. This video highlights methodology, but other videos in this series are useful as well. 

 

Crash Course Economics:

This video is part of a larger series on economics, but I find this one particularly useful for ToK. 

 

Up and Atom

Up and Atom makes mostly Physics videos, but from time to time Jade will give us a gem like this to help the Human Sciences. 

 

PBS IDEA Channel:

Here's a great explanation of some interesting theories within the human sciences including the Hedonic Treadmill. 

 

Brain Craft on PBS Digital:

Brain Craft is a great resource for anyone looking to study the human sciences and methodology. Here is a video about personality tests. 

 

Brain Craft (again)

Seriously, if you're studying the Human Sciences in Theory of Knowledge it is worth looking at her full library. Here's another one on Immigration, Empathy and Psychology. 

 

Crash Course Psychology:

Crash Course has a full playlist on Psychology. This video is particularly helpful for ToK students and teachers because it deals directly with methodology.
