SOC 453 - VisionMethod of Historic Soc

Institution:

California State University-Bakersfield

Subject:

Description:

Course explores the questions posed by a variety of twentieth-century scholars working at the intersections of social theory and history viewed on a grand scale. We examine the research agendas that they followed, their basic assumptions about society, history, and the purposes of scholarship; and how these assumptions informed the questions that they asked, and the kinds of answers that they offered. Specifically, we seek to understand how these scholars used various sources of evidence about the past to pursue case studies or comparisons among groups, periods, nations, or civilizations. Labs will make use of computers to analyze data. Completion of a research project is required. Prerequisite: SOC 300 or equivalent course (passing grade of C- or higher required).
