Students explore the social forces that structure life in modern society; forces that affect the ideas, identities, and life courses of individuals and groups. Students also learn to assess their own social position and understanding of society, which will allow them to subject society and themselves to scrutiny. This course will address multiple subject areas within sociology, including the self, media, religion, social change, gender, sexuality, and race.
