Introduction to Sociology

Sociology is a science of society and culture that explores our interdependencies and differences. By providing a critical lens regarding topics such as inequality, gender and sexuality, ethnicity, culture, and deviance, sociologists create theories that help explain and potentially change the world. Learners in the class will explore key concepts, figures, and theories of the discipline of sociology while developing their own sociological imagination. This class will both enlighten and empower learners to challenge their worldview through a combination of discussions, case studies, readings, and lectures.
