Sociology

Description:

This course explores the social psychological and social structural impacts of historical, contemporary, and projected global population problems at regional, national, and local levels. Lectures first introduce students to basic demographic models of fertility, mortality, and migration, and then quickly move on to investigate specific demographic-related problems in areas such as gender inequality, international migration, crime, public health, urbanization, poverty, and the human environment. Students learn how to utilize social demographic resources available on the internet at national population data centers in societies around the world to interactively develop a series of mini-research projects.
