GEN 300 - The Sociological Imagination

The primary goal of this course is to ensure that students develop a sociological imagination - that is, the ability to pose sociological questions and to find ways to investigate those questions. The course will be organized around three important sociological monographs – book length studies – which will examine race, class, and gender. We will spend the semester meticulously breaking apart these studies so that students begin to understand the process of conducting sociological research.
