ESS 40215 - Great Books in Sociology of Education

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

This course focuses on classic works in the sociology of education that not only shaped the direction of the education subfield, but also were landmarks in the field of sociology as a whole and often greatly influenced public policy. Discussion of the works will focus not only on an evaluation of the contribution of each work to sociology of education but also on the question of how these works contributed to sociological theory. One important goal of the course is to use careful evaluation of classic works to develop good research questions and/or to use concepts and arguments from the works to inform current research projects. This is an education-focused course.
