SOCI-204 Social Change

This course is an opportunity for students to continue developing their sociological imagination as it relates to social change in society, both domestically and internationally. We will consider the social origins, purposes, and consequences of social change in contemporary societies, and will emphasize the ways in which change agents, trends, and social contexts, reproduce, reinforce, and challenge prevailing institutional relationships. This course will critically explore the evolution of social change by investigating topics that are both theoretical and practical in nature. The goal of this course is to expand an understanding of the dynamic relationships between the impetus for social change and the consequences of change as reflected in the communities in which we live and the global arena.
