SOC 100: Survey of General Sociology

In this course, we use sociological theory to analyze a broad range of topics, including the production of knowledge, culture and history, socialization, identity, social relationships, deviance and crime, social institutions, globalization, class and inequality, racism, sexism, and change. The goal of this course is to introduce students to sociological perspectives, concepts, and analytical tools that may be applied to the contemporary world. As an introductory course, students will practice applying sociological thinking through media and short writing assignments.
