Hello Sociology Scholars!
I want to welcome you to Sociology 101 and extend an invitation just as famous sociologist Peter Berger did in his 1963 book which was titled... An Invitation to Sociology! Berger not only invited his readers to see the world through a sociological lens, but he also warned that "People who like to avoid shocking discoveries...should stay away from sociology."
Sociology can be an amazing class that changes your perspective about the world and more importantly about yourself. These insights will hopefully increase your awareness about yourself as an individual, your interaction with others and your society in general. Sociology is excellent preparation for working with diverse people and data.
This class will provide you an introduction to sociology that will hopefully and unabashedly pique your interest in the discipline. And even if sociology does not become a focus to your studies, this class will be an excellent foundation to begin to apply sociology to both your other studies such as education, medicine and business as well as to a more insightful understanding of your own growth as a person.
Are you fired up? Get ready to go! 😁
There are two tasks that I would like you to complete before our first class:
Student Demographics Survey
I want to get to know each of you better as an individual, so please answer this demographic survey. Please know that all of the information is private and only for me to see so share as much info as you are comfortable sharing.
Syllabus
Please read the syllabus.
