  • SOCI 4100: Latin American Social Theory

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    Through this course we seek to challenge the Eurocentric and USA-centric approach to social theory. We do this exploring the history of internal debates of Latin American social theory. We begin exploring what are epistemologies of the south. Then, we will simultaneously follow a chronological order and a thematic exploration. Chronologically, we will move from Indigenous belief systems, colonial experience and independence movements, through the current era. Thematically we explore race, ethnicity, gender, class, competing visions about the economy and political organization, technology and communications, and current debates surrounding decolonization/ decoloniality, "el buen vivir" (living well), and current challenges to sociological theory. This course is taught at an advanced level. Some Knowledge of Latin America is strongly recommended. It fulfills the Social Organization/Institutions or Change Sociology AOC requirements.

  • SOCI 4200: Queer Studies

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    This course is an introduction to the topic of Queer Studies from a sociological perspective. This means that we will apply sociological insight as we attempt to better understand the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals, as well as how the existence of "queer"-ness affects our understanding of all of social life. To this end, we will invoke several theoretical perspectives, and review a wide variety of empirical studies. Weekly reading assignments and discussion meetings will constitute the majority of the course responsibilities. This includes student participation in the form of writing weekly discussion questions, periodic written responses to others' discussion questions, and serving as discussion facilitator. Additionally, each student will supplement the work in the meetings with independent research. These will be ongoing projects resulting in a written document at the end of the term. Before submitting the paper, you will present the project to the group, gaining practice with oral presentation skills and receiving feedback from the group before finalizing the paper.

  • SOCI 4220: Contemporary Gender Seminar

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    This course is designed to allow intermediate and advanced students an opportunity to examine current conceptions of gender and study how the idea of gender has been applied in recent scholarship. We will begin the semester with a brief review of contemporary dominant perspectives on gender. We will then study a variety of writings that employ gender as an analytic tool. These will focus on the experiences of differently gendered people, stages in the life course, and will attend to intersections with race and class. Topically, the readings cover gender socialization, masculinity, LGBT issues, family, work, and the body. Our goal is to understand how scholars are currently using gender in their analyses, and to practice identifying these uses in empirical research. With appropriate planning, this course can fulfill either the "Persons and Society" or "Organizations" requirement for the Sociology AOC.
