In this course, we will conduct an intensive analysis of the lower levels of the socioeconomic status hierarchy in the U.S. Overall, we seek to understand the ways in which a person's place in the social system is related to personal growth and development, especially for those who are less fortunate. Our study is rooted in Mills' notion of the "sociological imagination," in that we will analyze the structures influencing personal experiences and interpersonal dynamics. In other words, we go beyond individual-level explanations in order to identify and analyze systemic issues. We will begin with an overview of poverty and proceed to the contributions of the classical theorists, Marx and Weber, to the study of socioeconomic status (SES). We will also review some of the early history of poverty and policy in the 20th century. In addition, we include gender and race/ethnicity, two aspects of the social structure that can influence the consequences of poverty for the individual. Further, we examine poverty in institutional settings, especially the family, the economy, education, and health care. Finally, our study will investigate the low end of the status hierarchy, looking at those who are working but poor, those who depend on assistance for a minimal subsistence, and those who are homeless. We will go beyond issues of numbers and trends to try to understand the structural roots of the problem and what it means to have no place of one's own.

Social change is a key subfield within the discipline of sociology. In this course, we will attend to three distinct but interrelated forces that contribute to the process of social change. These include the structural tensions that accumulate within a society, the efforts of those in power to maintain and extend their position, and the self-activity of oppressed people seeking to improve their condition. Focusing primarily on the latter forces, we will explore the process of social change as it has been elaborated by the authors of manifestos from Classical Antiquity to the present. As works that are at once analytic and prescriptive, manifestos provide a snapshot of (and have sometimes even helped to prompt) periods of significant social changelike the fall of monarchies and the growth of new movements against inequality. Following the conventions of the manifesto, we will focus on how opportunities for change are identified, how collective actors are constituted, and how the tasks assigned to these actors are conceived in relation to both objective conditions and to other players in the social field. Combining lectures, comparative analyses, and interactive dialogue, this course requires careful reading, active participation, and ongoing reflection. By the end of the semester, you will have composed a manifesto of your own. GPA units: 1 Common Area: Social Science Typically Offered: Annually

This course will reflect on key issues, debates, and activism in transnational feminisms. We will begin by challenging the imperial sociology of sex, gender, and sexuality by asking: is gender a western category? Are gender and sexuality useful categories beyond the West? Transnational, decolonial, and indigenous feminists have challenged neocolonial feminisms use of western gender categories and feminist rhetoric to construct and uphold cultural, political, and economic hierarchies between the Global North and South. We will track the intersectional feminist critiques and transnational perspectives on gender through several registers, historical eras, and geographical settings, including historical and contemporary perceptions of the veil; indigenous feminisms against dispossession, environmental injustice, and violence against women in settler colonialism; reproductive justice and the histories of non-consensual sterilization, market-based surrogacy, and transnational reproductive labor and carework. We will also examine specific sites of transnational feminist activism, for example by indigenous feminist on environmental issues and the Korean radical separatist feminist 4B movement. Finally, we will consider the epistemological reframing of US feminisms within the rubric of transnational as a necessary step to decolonize feminist theorizing and historiography. Along with theoretical and analytical texts, case studies, and thematic essays, the course will draw extensively on film as a medium to track the visual register though which to engage transnational feminisms.

With a focus on understanding social structures and inequality, sociology offers an important perspective on artificial intelligence (AI), how it is used by individuals in their everyday lives, and what its rapid advancement and adoption means for society writ large. In this course, we will examine AI through a sociological lens to understand how individuals impact AI and how AI impacts individuals, focusing on potentially positive and negative AI use cases. Among the specific cases and topics we will discuss are AIs role in assisting people with disabilities; AIs relationship with academic achievement; AIs impact on worker productivity; and, ethical issues AI raises concerning privacy, bias, discrimination, possible job loss, and loss of authenticity (e.g., deepfakes and more). This is not a computer science course, but understanding the basic components of AI is one of its student learning objectives. And although the course will include AI-based assignments, no technical experience is required. Pre-Req: SOCL 101. In addition, students who have previously taken AI, Social Life, and Society will not be allowed to enroll in this course during the Spring 2026 semester.
This senior-level course centers the actions, worldviews, and experiences of colonized peoples as they negotiated freedoms and unfreedoms during the pre-colonial and colonial eras and wrestle with these legacies for today and into the future as we consider abolition, decolonization, and appropriate reparations for this history. Throughout the semester, we will address the histories of colonialism, capitalism, enslaving, and their relationship to contemporary racisms and decolonial movements in the US and abroad. A course project will enable to students to develop concrete understandings of decolonial praxes rooted in indigenous worldviews, knowledges, and actions and the ways in which colonized peoples seek, demand, and maintain their freedom in the face of multiply manifest unfreedoms. This course will change topically each semester depending on current events and student interests, to focus on national and international coloniality and decoloniality. GPA units: 1
Embracing the maxim advanced by the journal Race Traitor (1992'2005) that 'Treason to Whiteness is Loyalty to Humanity,' this course offers students an opportunity to pursue a critical study of whiteness from an anti-racist perspective. By engaging and assessing key contributions to the field of critical whiteness studies, students will familiarize themselves with the historical origins, epistemological characteristics, and practical effects of whiteness as a sociological phenomenon. By considering themes including racial formation, culture, privilege, and the role of allies in anti-racist struggle, students will work to denaturalize whiteness and reflect upon what its abolition might mean both for white people and for communities impacted by white supremacy. Combining lectures, case analyses, and interactive dialogue, this course requires careful reading, active participation, and ongoing reflection.

Precarious work" refers to forms of employment that are insecure (Kalleberg 2007, 2009). In this seminar course, we will attempt to answer a number of questions that should be not only intellectually interesting, but also personally relevant as you enter the labor market yourself: How do economic conditions, labor market regulations, and employers' decisions shape the availability of jobs? How do sociological factors, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and cultural factors shape who gets a job and what type of job one gets? What are the psychological and health consequences of having a good versus a bad job? What does the future of work hold, given technological and other changes?

SOCL 351Artificial Intelligence (AI), Social Life & Society Course1
count: 1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing social, economic, and political landscapes around the world. AI is the subject of numerous contemporary debates including about the ethics and legality of its use, the effects of AI on social life, and AIs relative societal benefits and costs (e.g., Ford 2021). Guided by the sociological imagination and contemporary sociological theories, this seminar engages these debates and covers numerous use cases of AI in social life as well as across social institutions and structures, such as the legal and criminal justice systems, the educational system, the economy and work, and health care. Given the widespread and increasing use of AI, such knowledge is practically important for students future educational and career prospects (e.g., McKinsey & Company 2023). Although this is not a computer science course that will teach students all of the ins and outs about how to use AI, it will teach students some basics and integrate AI- based assessments.

SOCL 399F08 — Muslims in American Media and Pop Culture Course1
count: 1 This course will examine representations of Muslims as they appear in historical and contemporary American media and popular culture. In tracing the portrayals of Muslims in American news, film, television, social media, music, comedy, and other media forms chronologically, we will examine how the construction of the Muslim has changed over time due to major historical and sociopolitical events both domestic and global. Grounding our investigation in theory, we will begin with classical orientalist depictions, followed by Cold War and Gulf War era depictions, and conclude this investigation with contemporary depictions of Muslims in Americas War on Terror. While the first half of the semester will cover the wests portrayal of Muslims, noting the ways by which these representations uphold racial, gender and class hierarchies, the latter half will examine how Muslims have shaped their own representations to disrupt and counter their dehumanization in the media. We will examine media projects created by Muslims, such as Ms. Marvel, Ramy, Mo, The Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj, and others, to evaluate how Muslims choose to represent themselves and their stories in contemporary popular culture. This is a reading and media heavy course, as we will be covering theory through books and journal articles, and evaluating media projects by watching films and television shows in and out of the classroom. The material for this class is explored through an interdisciplinary approach focusing on scholarship mainly from sociology, anthropology, history, media studies, religious studies, ethnic studies and womens and gender studies.

Guided by the premise that dying should be a meaningful, personally transformative, and even gratifying process, the death positive movement gave rise to hospice care in the 1960s and manifests today in the form of death cafes, end-of-life doulas, and home burials. Most of the movements leaders, then and now, have been college educated white women living in North America and the United Kingdom. In this seminar, we will place their activism in political and historical context, examining how race, class, gender, and religion inform death positive ideas about good dying and end-of-life care.
