1. Understand the main theories, concepts, topics, and discussions in the field of sociology.
2. Develop critical thinking and academic reading skills.
3. Undertake undergraduate-level research and write a research report.
4. Discuss sociology-related topics in English and cultivate a “sociological imagination”.
Sociology is the study of society, that is, the networks of social relationships, institutions, culture, and norms that human beings create, contest, and partake in. As social beings, our lives are inevitably shaped by these larger systems and structures. Since we all belong to different social groups (such as your class, your school, your home, your workplace, etc.), sociological theory and methods provide us with great tools to understand ourselves, others, and the world at large. By shedding light on how personal struggles connect to larger societal patterns, studying sociology can foster empathy, imagination, and critical thinking, empowering you to imagine alternative futures and enact change. Many of the issues of interest to sociologists are of concern to all: poverty and unemployment; racial discrimination and gender inequality; social norms and expectations; and much more.
This course is designed to help students cultivate their “sociological imagination”, connecting issues that concern their personal lives, the lives of those around them, and even of complete strangers with larger social systems and structures. Students will learn to think critically and discuss societal issues using evidence-based reasoning, drawing on sociological theory and methods. Through academic readings and active class participation, students will deepen their understanding and apply their knowledge in a final research report.

| Quizzes and worksheets, peer-review |
Students are expected to keep up with the weekly homework readings and prepare to answer quizzes, worksheets, and to actively discuss the topics in class. At the end of the course, students will prepare an oral presentation and write a research report based on individual academic research on a chosen topic done outside of the class.
Students are expected to dedicate at least 2 hours of preparation before each class, and at least one hour of post-class study per week for reviewing class slides. For the final research project, which will culminate in an oral presentation and a written report, students should expect to dedicate at least 25 hours of outside-of-class work.
