SOC-UA 465: Childhood
4.00 Credits
New York University
Explores the theories of Ariès, Rousseau, and Locke to understand and compare children as miniature adults, as symbolic figures representing the state of nature or innocence, and as essential to the discourse and limits of human rights. Examines the origins and development of services for children, beginning with juvenile courts, children's hospitals, asylums for orphans, and homes for the dependent in 19th-century America. Aims to enlarge our vision of childhood by examining diverse institutions and practitioners in the public realm, beyond families and schools. Compares the emergence and development of specialized services for children with other forms of professionalism, particularly in medicine, law, and social welfare.

SOC-UA 472: The Sociology of Conflict and War
4.00 Credits
New York University
Studies the premise that war is much more than a means to an end (a rational, if very brutal, activity intended to serve the interests of one group by destroying those who oppose that group). Mounds of evidence suggest that war exercises a powerful fascination that has its greatest impact on participants but is by no means limited to them. War, in short, is a complex web of affiliations and emotions. This course seeks to place war in the larger map of social conflict, to examine both the persistence of warfare and its historical transformations, and to interpret the cultures of war that have grown around its fatal attraction.
