- This course is an introduction to the field of sociology. Sociology is the study of human actions and social relations, and the broader patterns of social order that result from them. The course is organized in three parts: we first study social identity and interaction, then how social institutions shape the world we live in. The final section of the course is devoted to understanding how the social world changes. The course involves lecture and lab/discussion sections. Lectures are designed to introduce you to the central ideas and theories of the field and to extend and develop the concepts introduced in reading. Labs allow smaller groups to discuss and apply these ideas more concretely.

- Course Catalog Description:
- Scientific study of human societies/behavior. Major theories, methods, concepts, research findings. Characteristics of basic social units, their patterns of interrelation, processes of change.
- Class Description:
- The fascination of sociology lies in the fact that its perspective makes us see in a new light the very world in which we have lived all of our lives (Berger 1963). Through a global perspective, this course will introduce you to the study of society, human social behavior, and social interaction. Throughout this semester, we will consider the dynamic relationship between individual agency and social structure, identity and inequality, and power and social change. The reading will consist of a few books in their entirety, which will allow exploration of specific sociological questions in depth, as well as supplementary articles, which will help contextualize the books in broader sociological and interdisciplinary debates. The primary goal of these explorations is to become well versed in basic sociological concepts and ideas while also developing tools that allow us to approach the social world and social research with a critical lens. We will have a series of guest lecturers, which will give you a variety of perspectives on sociology, and introduce you to researchers and faculty in the sociology dept at the U of M.
