Course Content

This course examines the basics of sociology. Broadly speaking, sociology is the study of society. More specifically, sociology examines the interactions among social institutions, cultures, groups, and individuals. It focuses on how unequal power relations organize the social world and shape individual lives. It also looks at how individuals negotiate their lives in different social and economic contexts. Sociologists rely on different theories and methods to study social worlds. In this course, we will study different theories and methods used within sociology and cover a broad spectrum of topics using critical sociological perspectives. The course is divided into four main areas: the sociological approach, the individual in society, the study of society, social institutions, and human agency. We will pay particular attention to how people's lived experiences are both shaped by social forces and reshaped through human action.
