- 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, 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 social forces that have a concrete impact on our everyday lives. Throughout the course you will be asked to consider the ways in which society affects your life, and how you, in turn, affect society. prereq: Soc Majors/Minors must register A-F

- Class Description:
- How do we develop a sense of identity? How do we decide what is right or wrong? How much power do we have to change the world? This course is designed to help you tackle questions like these and many more through developing what sociologists call the "sociological imagination": the ability to understand human lives as shaped by social forces. Sociology involves rethinking common sense; it asks us to re-examine our society and reconsider our assumptions about basic social dynamics. This course will invite you to think critically about the information you are receiving, examine your own experiences and observations, and be receptive to sociological data and analyses that challenge your assumptions. Throughout the semester, we will cover social issues such as inequalities of race, class, gender, sexualities, culture, education, health, deviance, and social change. You are probably already thinking about many of these topics, and I want you to walk away from this course with the ability to use sociological theories, concepts, and methods to understand these issues.

- 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.

- Class Description:
- Sociology offers a unique lens through which we can examine the world around us. In this course you will develop a perspective that will allow you to analyze the social world in a way that reveals the hidden and/or overlooked social forces that shape our lives. This approach, the sociological imagination, will enable you to explore how social forces influence the ways we view and navigate our social world. We will discuss how sociologists use theory and research to better understand important social issues such as inequalities of race, class, gender, sexualities and how social order and social change are possible. We will discuss how society affects individuals and in turn how individuals can affect society.
- Exam Format:
