Description

(WI) Writing Intensive

The goal of this course is to introduce students to classical and contemporary sociological theories. Students will become familiar with competing sociological perspectives by studying the works of prominent 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century social theorists. Students will learn to identify the major concepts of classical and contemporary social theories and will apply them to current social problems. Students will evaluate the content of theories by assessing theorists' explanations of social inequality and their views on the mechanisms of social change.
