Advanced Social Theory Seminar
SOC 312
Fall 2014
| Section:
01
|
| Certificates: Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory |
This course offers students the opportunity to pursue in-depth advanced work in sociological theory. Students develop close reading strategies to directly engage primary texts from a variety of traditions and perspectives. The seminar requires careful analysis of books and essays that frequently assume a specialized lexicon and grammar; students enrolled in the course will have already demonstrated a command of foundational material through successful completion of SOC 212 or other coursework in social theory. |
