- Class Description:
- This course introduces students to the sociological imagination: the ability to see connections between individual lives and larger social forces such as capitalism, colonialism, and globalization. What makes us who we are? What forces sustain the historical continuities in human society - such as how we work, who we marry, who and how we punish? Students will learn about historical and contemporary sociological perspectives on labor, culture, inequality, deviance, gender, racialization, the market, and the state. We will explore how various sociological theories have analyzed social, political, and economic structures and the forces that drive and/or hinder change.

- Class Description:
- This class will serve as a survey and introduction of the various means through which social pressures and influences structure who we are, what we can and want to accomplish, and why certain individuals and groups face more difficulty and challenges in social life than others. Topics will include identity formation, the logic of small group structure and routine, as well as racial, gendered, class, sexual orientation-related, and other forms of social inequality. Students will be challenged to integrate course materials and lessons into their own individual circumstances, coming to terms with how their new knowledge about social structures and inequalities will allow them to engage more ethically with their surroundings, relationships, and careers.
- Who Should Take This Class?:
- This is an introductory class to the discipline, so any and all students with a personal or compelling career interest to study the patterns behind social routines and inequalities are encouraged to take the course.
- Learning Objectives:
- Students will learn how to read and interpret sociological texts, summarize and apply the insights of the text within in-class settings and discussion, and integrate these insights into their own personal circumstances and goals.
- Grading:
- Students will be evaluated on the following criteria:1. Discussion section attendance and participation2. "Annotated Bibliography" summaries and reflections on course readings (these substitute for typical exams or quizzes)3. Two course papers where students apply course readings to reflect upon how they might live more ethically within contexts of their choice moving forward.
- Exam Format:
- There are no typical exams in the class, but students will be required to submit short summaries and reflections on the majority of course readings at the end of each course unit.
- Class Format:
- The class includes two main leaning modes:1. A lecture portion in which the instructor will elaborate on the themes of the readings, with students periodically engaging in discussion activities.
2. A discussion section portion in which students will work with teaching assistants to practice applications of materials and workshop course assignments. - Workload:
- Students should expect to dedicate 3-5 hours of time outside of class hours to the course.

- 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.
