B00

Course Description:

Sociology is concerned with a wide variety of issues that can be grouped under three main headings: power relations and inequalities, subjectivities and the meaning we give to human actions, and the social processes by which social structures are maintained and transformed. Sociology thus addresses social relations of class, gender and sexuality, race, and ethnicity, though not limited to these. It does so at the level of individuals and groups, including organizations, structures, systems or societies. Through seminal texts and exemplary research, both classic and contemporary, this course aims to provide an overview of these major issues in sociology.
