SOC.Q 101 - Introduction to Sociology

(PEQ Social Science) This course is designed to introduce students from all backgrounds to the basic ideas and methods of sociology. If you have ever wondered why some occupations seem to be entirely made up of women, or why sports fans get worked up into frenzies, or why some people seem to be so much wealthier than others, then this is the course for you. We will use topics ranging from education, gender, and race to better understand how social structure impacts our daily lives. Further, we will come to understand how power, inequality, and agency play critical roles in shaping our experience. At the end of the course, all students will be equipped with a sociological imagination that will allow them to better understand their own experiences and the world around them. Course Codes: ABR.
