This course introduces students to foundational and contemporary perspectives in Sociology. Students will learn to develop and use their sociological imagination. Major classical sociological perspectives are explored and then questioned and challenged. We focus on critical analysis, anti-oppressive frameworks, and inclusive pedagogy, to develop a more comprehensive sociological understanding. Different perspectives are applied to culture, social structure, social institutions, social control, inequality, and resistance. Sociological methods, methodologies, and research tools are introduced.
