Central Questions and Approaches in Sociology

This is a crash course in some of the most important and prominent questions, research programs, and methodological approaches in the sociology discipline. Students will read a series of major books and/or articles and discuss current trends, debates, or emerging areas in sociology. The course also works to connect lines of scholarly research with practical problems. Students will also have a chance to think creatively about where they fit in the discipline: what questions, assumptions, or arguments need further scrutiny and how they might productively engage in central debates in the field through their own emerging research. Open only to first-year Sociology graduate students.
