- Class Description:
- This course serves as a capstone to your studies in sociology. The focus is on how sociological knowledge, research, and thought help to promote critical thinking, effective communication, an appreciation of diversity, and social responsibility in public life. The first goal of the course is to guide you through the process of writing your senior project paper, a graduation requirement for all sociology majors. This project and related materials require you to reflect on the role of sociological knowledge in the contemporary world and to connect your sociological knowledge to a community-based senior research project. The second goal is for you to connect a sociological perspective to your professional and civic life following graduation. Classes will include a combination of lectures, active learning exercises, writing exercises to help you prepare your main paper, and discussions of the required readings.
Special note: No class on Monday, July 4th or Monday, August 22. Last class on Wednesday, August 24th.
