| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2279 This seminar provides an introduction to sociology, to the doing of sociology, through an examination of selected major works in the discipline. We use these works as exemplifications of how we might do social theory, not as texts to be criticized. The two semesters of this course are autonomous; either semester in the sequence may be taken alone, and either semester may be taken first. Together, the two mesh into a systematically-constructed whole, leading to a more coherent perspective on the accomplishments and future tasks of sociology than either provides alone. ; Section 001 with Gould will highlight works by Durkheim and Freud (supplemented by a bit of Parsons, Mead, etc.).; Section 002 with McKeever will highlight works by Durkheim, Mead, and Schutz. Social Science, B: Analysis of the Social World (Hav: SO, B) Section 002 will highlight works by Gramsci, Fanon, Foucault, Bourdieu, Hall, and feminist theory |
