SOC 3002: Sociological Theory

Abstract

Synopsis: This lecture course offers an introduction to influential ways of thinking sociologically that emerged after World War I, and which develop on, and transform, original themes of the foundational decades of sociology. The course covers American and Continental sociological theory, and will conclude with a brief overview of ongoing debates in sociological theory around gender, affective/immaterial labor, and efforts to break down the hegemony of white men in the production of sociology.
