- Class Description:
What sets sociology apart from the other social sciences is its diversity of perspectives and areas of inquiry. Any aspect of human activity can be studied sociologically--from individual cognition, to small group dynamics, to institutions and nation states, to vast, globe-spanning systems and structures. What matters most to the sociologist is less a specific area or specialty and more the ability to see the social in the world around us. The goal of this introductory course is to help students find their sociological perspective and understand how human agency both shapes and is shaped by social structures. We will discuss a broad range of topics, including: 1) theory and methods, both classical and contemporary; 2) culture, socialization, and social solidarity; 3) power, conflict, and the intersection of social statuses such as race, class, and gender; and 4) global dynamics, public sociology, and the potential for social change. By the time they complete this course students will ideally be able to apply their sociological imagination to both current events and their everyday lives.
