  • RELI 4350: Religion and the Forms of Rationality

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    This continuation of "Faith and Reason: Introduction" also serves as this year's "Topics in the Study of Religion" course, designed especially for students pursuing or considering a Religion AOC. The course examines recent literature on the very idea of "rationality" as it relates to the study of religion. Issues arising out of philosophy, cultural anthropology, and the sociology of knowledge have increasingly challenged the notion that reason is something "static" rather than something historically and culturally conditioned. We will examine the ways scholars have applied these developments to the study of religion and to constructive religious thought. Open to students who have taken "Faith and Reason: Introduction" as well as to students concentrating or considering concentrating in Religion. Humanities LAC, Estimated Enrollment 10 (no cap).

  • SOCI 2300: Environmental Sociology

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    This course is intended to provide an introduction to sociological perspectives on contemporary environmental issues. The course will explore these perspectiveswith regard to three levels of analysis: the ways social structures and institutions shape our interactions with the non-human world (for example, the social construction of technological systems); the implications of local and global environmental conditions on the social world (for example, environmental justice and climate change); and the opportunities and constraints related to the ways we might respond to the environmental challenges of the 21 st century (forexample, the sociology of risk, "radical" alternatives and the concept of civic environmentalism, and the sociology of "sustainability"). Although intended to be introductory, the course will be challenging in two ways. First, it will require careful attention to readings that will be difficult at times, as we establish the necessary theoretical foundations for a critical sociology of environmental issues. Second, it will require a certain willingness to suspend (at least temporarily) what might be deeply ingrained assumptions underlying modern environmentalism-not least of which is the very idea of defending a "nature" that is independent of our construction of it.

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    This course is an introduction to the sociological study of the urban landscape.

Topics will include: urbanism as a sociological phenomenon; suburbanization; ghettoization and gentrification; modernism, "urban renewal," and the technology of city-building; culture and politics of urban places, with a particular focus on race, class, and gentrification in contemporary cities; re-formed city centers and new images of urbanity; transformations of urban space with a particular focus on the issue of public space.
