SOAN 390 - Special Topics in Sociology


Credits: 3


Prerequisite: May vary by topic. A discussion of a series of topics of sociological concern. May be repeated for degree credit if the topics are different.

Fall 2015, SOAN 390-01: Microsociology (3). Prerequisite: One course in Sociology/ Anthropology. The focus of this seminar is on the intricacies of social interaction. Particular emphasis is placed on three theoretical approaches: symbolic interaction, social dramaturgy, and social construction. Each model is examined with regard to the meaning of interaction and the manner in which it operates, with emphasis placed as well on socialization and self-development within the context of social determinism and voluntarism. The seminar concludes with viewing the various interactionist perspectives as elements to be incorporated in developing a more coherent, emergent image of social interaction. Novack.
