Thinking Through Society

Undergraduate

While not always amiable, much like society, theory can be accessible and compelling. (Sociological) Theory is complex and weighted yet it need not be cumbersome. The purpose of this course is to introduce and engage the breadth of thought that roots a discipline from Marx to Weber alongside the rich contributions often overlooked or under-analyzed against the backdrop of a conventional canon via Khaldûn, Du Bois, and even Luxembourg. Prerequisite(s): 3h of 1000-level SOCI and second-year standing, or permission of the instructor.
