SOCI 145 - Introduction to Sociology: Social Inquiry between Past and Present Semester Offered: First Semester Full Course Credits: 4 credits Attribute: 4SS
Sociology emerged as intellectuals sought to understand what Max Weber called the ?great cultural problems? of the modern era. From the development of capitalism to the expansion of European imperialism across the globe, the novel social forms and practices of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries sparked questions that approached the world in new ways. This course introduces students to the craft of social inquiry. By navigating our way through exemplary sociological accounts of capitalism, democratic politics and what Du Bois termed the ?problem of the color-line,? we will seek to craft research questions to shed new light on contemporary phenomena.
