Sociology 203 - F oundations of Social Theory

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

This course brings under scrutiny the false dichotomies crowding the sociological imagination: structure/agency, history/theory, macro/micro, global/local. The broad-based analytical perspective enables students to understand theory in its historical location. Students are encouraged and expected to reflect on the explanatory models themselves as political and cultural constructions located in time and place and consider the role of power in definitions of reality. Required of all majors. Also offered through European Studies.
