- Class Description:
- This course is designed to introduce you to the study of society and what Mills calls the "sociological imagination:" a way of viewing the events, relationships and social phenomena that shape our individual lives and much of our collective experience. Through the course we will examine some of the central concepts and problems that have preoccupied both classical and contemporary sociologists, and gain a sense of how the sociological imagination can illuminate the often unseen social forces that have a concrete impact on our everyday lives. We will first explore the creation and maintenance of the social order as well as the social processes by which people develop a sense of self and negotiate meanings in everyday social interactions. We then take a look at social structure, social institutions and social stratification. Finally, we will explore how, why, and when social life changes. Throughout the course you will be asked to consider the ways in which society affects your life, and how you, in turn, affect society. Class time will be a mix of lecture, discussion, multimedia, small group work and in-class exercises. The course is targeted to undergraduate majors and non-majors.

- 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.
