SOC 100 Introduction to Sociology

This course is an introduction to the study of society and to C. Wright Mills 'sociological imagination', wherein we analyze some of the central issues in society and their impact on our everyday lives. Throughout the course, we will study Sociology not only as an academic discipline but also as a way of perceiving and understanding the world around us. We will examine sociological theories in areas such as the institution of marriage and family, race and ethnicity, gender relations, social and class stratification, in order to develop the ability to relate to and get a better understanding of these various social issues surrounding us in the contemporary society.

*Please note: In the Spring term, this course is predominantly taken by CEA students.
