- 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:
- This course is an introduction to the fascinating field of sociology. The broad aim of the class is for students to learn to develop and deploy their ?sociological imagination,? in order to better understand and participate in the social world. Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and ask how and why people interact within these contexts. In this class you will read the works of classical and contemporary theorists, view sections of documentary films, and engage in debate and discussion with your peers and professor. You will learn to use a sociological lens in analyzing many of the cultural, economic and political phenomena that surround us every day. You will question things that may have never before seemed strange, and you will begin to make ?sociological sense? of things that you may have always before questioned. By the end of the course, you will be familiar with the sociological toolkit-- the core concepts, methods, and theories of the discipline?and be able to begin to use this toolkit to make sense of the world around you.

- Class Description:
- In this course, the student is encouraged to develop his or her sociological imagination and to apply it to the world around us. In the first section of the semester, we focus on ways in which culture, socialization, social interactions, and social control affect our day-to-day lives. Then we investigate the impacts of four key master statuses: social class, gender, race, and living as an American. These master statuses have fundamental but sometimes subtle effects on the opportunities and constraints that each of us face. In the final section of the course, we focus on a variety of other aspects of the social world (family, education, and globalization, for example) to further understand how personal troubles can be seen and analyzed as public issues using core theories and the student's sociological imagination.
