Description:

Session Cycle: Fall Yearly Cycle: Annual The sociology of work is an exploration of the structure and meaning of work in our lives and in our culture. The course is presented in a seminar format in which students read and discuss a series of topical books in the field. In addition to guiding students toward developing their own sociological insight, the course will challenge basic assumptions about the social organization of work and about the relationship between the economic and the non-economic spheres of our lives. This sociological exploration of work will be organized around a service learning practicum designed each semester in collaboration with a community partner. Service learning courses at Bryant require significant out of class community service done in partnership with community agencies.
