Class Description:
This course introduces the pivotal questions that underpin classical and contemporary sociological perspectives. Analysis of how society is possible and how social order is maintained are core to an understanding of individuals as both agents and objects that shape and are shaped by their membership in society. Examining this close relationship between the individual, society, and social structures permits us to understand the dynamics of social and power relations in everyday living. The course explores diverse sociological theories purporting to explain the social, political and economic structures prevailing in our society. It also centralizes the importance of social change and the forces that drive or/and hinder change. A key objective of this course is to foster students? critical thinking abilities in their analysis of societal issues, and in their articulations of these issues. Students are expected to be able to apply sociological theories and debates into their everyday practices.

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.
