  • SOCI 3034: Sustainable Cities

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    The problem of sustainability is often discussed primarily in terms of technical means for improving resource efficiency and reducing pollution. Discussions of urban sustainability often skip a key question: what do we think is worth sustaining? What kind of place delivers the desired quality of life, in a manner that is ecologically responsible, economically viable, and socially resilient? All of this has only gotten more difficult in recent years, as we are ever more urgently required to accomplish more with less. This course explores some of the opportunities, strategies and obstacles to creating more sustainable cities and neighborhoods. The course will examine practical, place-based approaches to positive community transformation that avoid the pitfalls of heavy-handed planning, conventional development practice, regulatory bureaucracy, and unproductive local politics. This course is intended as an intermediate-level seminar for students interested in environmental studies or urban studies, from the perspective of the social sciences. Intermediate level course. Preference given to students who have taken Urban Sociology, or previous work in the social sciences. Prerequisites: Urban Sociology, or previous work in the social sciences.

  • SOCI 3150: Globalization, Social Justice, and Human Rights

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    Globalization surrounds us, yet few people understand its complexities, nuances, and contradictions, nor the depths of our personal relationship to globalization. In this course we explore the theories, issues, and debates associated with globalization, specifically as these relate to social justice and humanrights. The course takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from sociology, political science, anthropology, and economics. It encourages self reflection as we look at how the decisions of the individual can have global implications, and how local concerns and actions have implications about equity, fairness and justice at the national and international levels. Among the topics we explore areincome inequality, immigration, children, race and ethnicity, gender, sustainability, technology, and social movements. In addition, we will engage in a transnational learning environment. While exploring the course materials at New College, we will be engaging in dialog with students in other institutionsboth in the US and abroad who are also taking this course in their home institutions. The course, therefore, is a hybrid, partly on-line. This course is structured as an upper-level undergraduate course. For the Sociology AOC it fulfills the Social Organization/Institutions or Change analytical areas.Diversity, Gender Studies Eligible

  • SOCI 3200: Social Theory

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    This course explores central issues and concerns of modern social theory through an examination of the works of major thinkers of the 19th century: John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim. The course is designed to focus on key issues raised by a few important theorists rather than attempt to survey the range of either 'classical' or contemporary theory. Critical reading of these works will serve as an introduction to recurring themes, fundamental orientations, and epistemological dilemmas in what is generally understood to be modern social thought (the so-called "classical" theory emerging from Western Europe). The final third of the course will focus on current theoretical debates that have either built on these foundations or developed in reaction to the limits of this Euro-centric 19th century tradition. Not appropriate for first years. Prerequisite: Intro to Sociology or equivalent.
