The course, in addition to the theoretical texts assigned for reading and analysis, incorporates journalistic accounts of social issues, autobiographies, memoirs, oral histories and materials like photographs and film, in order to encourage students to experiment with original sociological research. Learning, also, to apply sociological language and concepts to events and situations we encounter daily, like ‘sociological location’ (identities like race, gender and class) and ‘social institutions’ (organized entities that structure society, like education and religion) is of key importance. By the end of the course, students should be well on their way to developing their own 'sociological imagination.’

Elements of Sociology

0.0 stars

This course will look at a variety of sociological writings (not necessarily written by professional sociologists) addressed to some characteristically modern phenomen—individualism, capitalism, democracy, etc.—in order to gain a clearer understanding of these often confusing elements of our modern world; to the extent that we are able to win such a clearer understanding, we shall also learn something about the unique contributions that sociology can make to such attempts. We’ll read some original texts from founding figures in the discipline—those who gave it its orienting research questions, theoretical starting-points, and distinctive methodologies. We’ll also read work by their contemporary followers in order to see whether the classical texts and approaches can still speak to our present-day condition. In the last part of the course, we’ll look at a couple of topics of general and very current interest—sex and gender, race and ethnicity, human nature—and try to see how sociologists tend to differ in their approaches to these topics from other kinds of students of the human condition.

Global Social Theory
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

This course is designed as an introduction to the key questions and concepts of the Social Sciences. It aims at exposing students to a conceptual repertoire that prepares the ground for them to develop critical responses to pressing global issues. To this end, its itinerary engages with a variety of texts that comprise global social theory. A main focus of the course is to train students to read these texts carefully with an eye toward using them to analyze the world around us. In pursuing this goal, we ask: what does it mean to understand humans as thoroughly social, cultural, and historical creatures? How do humans create, maintain, and transform their social worlds? How are forms of social difference (race, class, ethnicity, language, citizenship, gender, sexuality, etc.) produced and how do they shape our experiences? In what sense is the contemporary world shaped by particular pasts? What historical transformations lie on the horizon?

Hispanics in the U.S.: Migration and Adjustment
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This course will discuss the challenge that the multifaceted Latino/a-Hispanic reality poses to the anglo-european and monocultural conception of the United States. For the most part, mainstream approaches to the study of Latino and Latina populations in the United States tend to focus on Latinos/as as a problem group, somehow outside and distinct from society. In our approach, we will shift perspectives to the myriad identities that in fact constitute the U.S. We will read and discuss texts on the socio-economic and political origins of migration from Latin America and the Spanish speaking Caribbean to the United States, as well as the historic Latino/a-Hispanic presence pre-dating expansion of U.S. territories. The course will discuss key concepts such as a multi-racial latinidad, first and 2nd-3rd generation Latinos/as, the politics of gender, homophobia, imperialism, neoliberalism, militarization, circular migration, illegality, borderlands, ethnic enclaves, and the immigrant consciousness. In our study, we will incorporate the term Latinx as a signifier of people, heritage, and culture.
