Courses for Spring 2024

  • Social Forces: An Introduction to Sociology

    Social forces constrain and empower us, bond us together and push us apart. Sociology explores the workings of societies large and small: nations, organizations, communities, families, and other groups. How do societies shape action and identity, and why are social pressures so hard to defy? How do societies distribute wealth and power, and why do inequalities so often coalesce around race, ethnicity, class, and gender? How do established practices persist, and when do movements arise to challenge them? Examining such themes across a range of issues and topics, this course provides a springboard for future study throughout the social sciences.

  • Who Am I?

    A study of self in contemporary society. We examine the structural and situational forces that shape the self and their impact on personal development, orientations to the world, and interpersonal behavior; we investigate the development of the self as a way of being in the world that makes everyday doings and, ultimately society, possible. Enrollment limited to 19 first year students. Instructor permission required.

  • From Macro to Micro: Experiencing Education (In)equality in and beyond Schools

    In American society a paradox exists: education is both a conduit of mobility and inequality. Schooling offers the potential for greater opportunities; yet the disparate nature of school-communities often compound disadvantages for others. In this course, we explore the complex “ecology” of educational inequality, from macro- to micro-dimensions, exploring economics, housing, intergroup dynamics, race and racism, gender and sexism, poverty and class, and other phenomena. It will provide students with a basis for understanding the relationship between education and society, and we will explore the intersectional ways that group distinctions, material and political realities impact people’s lives.

  • Theory and Practice of Engaged Scholarship

    Efforts are underway across college and university campuses—in the United States and globally—to increase opportunities for community-engaged teaching, learning, and research. What is engaged scholarship and how does it challenge (and/or complement) more traditional concepts of scholarship and disciplinary knowledge? What are the historical, practical, methodological, ethical, and other considerations associated with engaged scholarship? Through investigating these and other questions, students will emerge from this course with a critical understanding of engaged scholarship at Brown University and in the broader landscape of U.S. higher education. Students will be equipped to design a course of study that integrates community practice with academic knowledge throughout the remainder of their time at Brown and beyond. SOC 0310 fulfills a requirement for the Engaged Scholarship Certificate.

  • Methods of Social Research

    This course aims to impart a critical perspective of, and an empirical familiarity with, the range of methods available to sociological researchers to answer interesting, important, and complex social research questions. It introduces students to the frameworks and methods of conducting sociological research -- from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective. We will examine broadly defined methodological approaches to doing sociology such as survey research, ethnography and interviews, and historical/comparative studies. These methodological approaches correspond to distinct conceptualizations of social life and the science dedicated to studying it. Over the course of the semester, students will focus on developing a fully feasible research proposal.

  • Borderlands

    This course explores the creation and maintenance of international borders and the communities that develop in response to them. We will examine a particular collection of borders and borderlands that includes a range of structural, managerial, and geographical variation. Through a combination of scholarly texts, ethnographic accounts, films, and research on GOs and NGOs, we will study legal and illegal crossings, border communities, and border patrol organizations that seek to protect the integrity of national boundaries. (Note: While the case study texts focus on the Mediterranean/Middle East, students will be required to investigate and share research on other areas of the world.) By the end of this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how international borders are created, how they are maintained, and how people and organizations navigate them. While the majority of this course will be conducted on campus, it includes one-week, embedded travel to Istanbul during spring break (March 23 - March 31, 2024).

  • Macro-Organizational Theory: Organizations in Social Context

    Macro-Organizational Theory focuses on the organization and its social/economic environment. This class will explore various definitions of the organization’s environment, and the many types of macro-level organizational structures in which sets of organizations interact, function, compete, and cooperate. Important questions to be asked include the following:

    -What is an organizational environment and how do organizations “deal” with what is outside of their boundaries?

    -How are the boundaries of organizations defined/recognized/function?

    -How do environments influence organizational strategy and performance?

    -What are the major theories for assessing macro-level organizational phenomena?

    -What are the many ways in which organizations relate to other organizations?

  • Power, Knowledge and Justice in Global Social Change

    How bad is climate change, and how much worse it will get? How are global inequalities’ changing? What are their consequences? How is white supremacy implicated here? What is our responsibility in analyzing/engaging these questions? You have at least an implicit response to these questions and others addressing global transformations. This course will help refine your understandings by inviting you to consider the actors, structures, norms and powers shaping how change works and why we judge its expressions as we do. Across multiple areas of global change, we compare conceptions of power and justice in their various articulations.

  • Martial Arts, Culture, and Society

    In this upper level undergraduate course for which there are no prerequisites, we consider how sociology, and other social sciences, help us understand martial arts and other bodymindful practices (including yoga!) and how they might inform the social sciences. We consider how these practices, their organizations, and their cultures shape, and are shaped by, different structures of power and privilege. We concentrate on martial arts because they straddle such an important axial dimension of society around violence. Enrollment limited to 20.

  • The Geography of Urban Inequality

    This course considers spatial aspects of inequality in metropolitan neighborhoods in the United States. We will examine the social and economic forces driving patterns of urban inequality, drawing from sociological readings on topics such as housing, education, segregation, gentrification, neighborhood effects, and concentrated poverty. Students will investigate the consequences of these inequalities for individuals and their communities, and analyze the effectiveness of policies in addressing or exacerbating stratification. This course will be discussion-based and interactive, requiring weekly preparation and active exchange during class.

  • Work, Inequality, and Social Change

    This course aims to introduce key questions in the sociology of work. Why are some jobs so much worse than other? How are workers hired for different jobs and how do schools prepare them? How have workers tried to change society, and what explains their successes and failures? The goal of this course is to understand how workplace processes relates to key forms of inequality and the promises and pitfalls of collective action. To do so we review key theoretical concepts and empirical studies across a broad range of workplaces.

  • The Sociology of Gender and Sexualities

    This course offers an in-depth understanding of the sociological study of gender and sexualities. In addition to examining contemporary theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches, we will interrogate the social construction of gender and sexualities within a variety of institutions and social contexts, such as families, schools, work, health and medicine, technology, and popular culture. Throughout the course, close attention will be paid to understanding how gender and sexualities intersect with other systems of inequality, such as race, class, age, nationality, and disability. Although empirical research will primarily draw from the United States, some transnational perspectives will also be considered. Students will leave this course with a strong understanding of gender and sexualities within macro, meso, and micro levels of society, as well as how moments of tension, resistance, and change occur.

  • Gender, Work, and Inequality

    We spend a great deal of our waking hours working, either paid or unpaid. In what ways is gender embedded in work, and how does work reflect and reinforce gender inequality? This seminar will provide an overview of contemporary theory and research on gender and work. Throughout the course, we will consider gender in relation to race and ethnicity, and we will pay close attention to how gender and race at work translates into class and inequality. Our primary focus will be on the United States in the 20th and 21st centuries, with some comparisons with other nations. Readings will include a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods. Topics covered include: gender segregation and pay gaps, labor market discrimination, service work and emotional labor, unpaid household work, immigration and globalization, labor organizing, social policy, and the future of work.

  • Back from the Field: Sociology Methods Writing

    An intensive, practice-oriented exploration of qualitative research methods such as participant-observation, interviewing, narrative analysis, and ethnography. Exploration of qualitative methods include logics of inquiry, positionality, ethics, analysis, and writing. Students will learn an array of qualitative methods to conduct case studies using induct and deductive approaches. Students will primarily use an ethnographic approach focusing on the multitude of ways participant observation can be used to test and build theory. Because ethnography is as much art as science, there will be practical exercises to familiarize students with ethics, positionality, reflexivity, and the politics of representation in qualitative work. Students will also demonstrate their abilities to analyze information, to write clearly and persuasively, and to construct original arguments. Students should be able to prepare, conduct, and analyze data from a qualitative research project on their own by the end of this course.

  • Directed Research Practicum - MSAR Students Only

    The Directed Research Practicum (SOC 2982) is a one semester course taken in conjunction with an on- or off-campus research internship. The course consists of a directed reading of methodological texts and research articles selected by the student and the faculty director that are of direct relevance to the methodological issues and challenges encountered in the internship. The student and faculty director will meet on a weekly basis to review the readings, assignments, and discuss how the methods on paper “come to life” during the internship experience. Faculty directors need not be involved with the actual internship work (i.e. the internship is off-campus or with an on-campus office), unless the student is working on the faculty member’s research project.
