Class Description:
Sociology is a scientific discipline concerned with the study of human society. This course will introduce the major themes and questions in the discipline of sociology: theory and method; culture and society; socialization and the life cycle; conformity, deviance and crime; stratification, class and inequality; gender inequality; ethnicity and race; families and intimate relationships; education and religion; health, illness, sexuality and aging; and urbanization, population, and the environment. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on understanding topics and issues through the sociological imagination--a way of viewing the events, relationships and social phenomena that shape our individual lives and much of our collective experience. We will apply what we learn in the class to our own lives and experiences.
