SOAN 360 - Sociological Theory
This course encourages students to sharpen their skills at asking questions and proposing explanations of social issues through a study of how their predecessors in sociology critically examined society. By reading and analyzing the work of classical and more contemporary theorists, we can learn about what it means to study the social world through theoretical questions. And by observing how contemporary theorists have improved on the ideas and explanations of the classical theorists and applied them to contemporary problems, we can equip ourselves to modify and apply existing theoretical ideas to answer questions and effect positive change in our social world. As a required course for students on the sociology track through the major and a recommended course for sociology minors, it builds on factual knowledge and skills developed in 200-level survey courses and is linked to the Research Design course.
Prerequisites: At least two 200-level SOAN courses.
