- 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:
- This course is designed to introduce you to the study of society and what sociologists call the sociological imagination -- a way of viewing the events, relationship, and social phenomena that shape our individual lives and much of our collective experience. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and ask how and why people interact within these contexts. Sociology explores the social conditions that enable and constrain the courses of action that any individual can take, meaning it is often at the forefront of identifying and proposing solutions to major forms of inequality and injustice. Throughout the course, you will be asked to consider the ways in which society affects your life, and how you, in turn, affect society. We will examine some of the central concepts and problems that preoccupy sociologists and gain a sense of how the sociological imagination can illuminate the social forces that have a concrete impact on our everyday lives.
