Course Description

Sociology provides tools to understand our own lives and society, as well as distant ones. Students are introduced to models and concepts sociologists use to think about society in terms of its maintenance and construction through everyday social interactions. Subjects that may be explored include culture and its effects; socialization; mass media; how gender is constructed and its influences; social inequality; world-views and life-choices; sexuality and society; and crime and deviance.

Students will receive credit for only one of SOCI 1120 or 4860. SOCI 1120 may not be used to satisfy the SOCI 4860 requirement.

Registration in this course is restricted to students admitted to the Post-Degree Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion Leadership.
