| SOCI 321 - Social Policy in Our Lives |
|
An exploration of three questions: What is social policy? How do social research and theory generate and evaluate policy? How is policy implemented, changed, or overturned? The sociological imagination — the notion that large and impersonal forces shape everyday practice — directs this study of policy to identify cultural, political, and historical forces that lead policy to influence nearly every aspect of life. Topics may include regional, national, and international policies related to poverty, immigration, family, sexuality, gender, criminal legislation, and racial justice.
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing and any two Anthropology, Sociology, Criminology, or Global Studies courses.
