Modern Social Theory

Course Code: 
SOCI2001

A sequel to SOCI 2000 (formerly SY 20C), this course is designed to discuss the more recent theoretical developments in theory.  Beginning with the early 20th Century theorists it continues to the present, where it explores the very basis of sociology today in the postmodern world.

Like its predecessor it emphasizes critical thought.  A central issue is the fundamental relationship between the individual and society.  The intention is for students to question and defend (if necessary) the status and importance of sociological analysis today.  As with its precursor it is a down to earth sociology, taught with references and examples from "real life".
