Desc:This introductory level course will be discussion-based and will focus on the critical analysis of social problems as collectively defined and socially constructed. The course will discuss critical questions about social problems as both interactional and structural and will consider how the field of sociology came to consider social problems as a core area of research/study. Some key areas of social problems students will consider include wealth and economic inequalities, race, gender, sexuality, education, criminal justice, health, immigration, work, environment, and social change. The course will use an intersectional framework; students will learn how sociologists research social problems and how applied sociology addresses those findings. This course will be accessible for students who are new to sociology as a discipline and will be helpful for those preparing for the sociology requirements of the MCAT as well as preparation for the LSAT.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
