Section Information for Fall 2018

In this course, we explore the literature on economic, political, social, and cultural globalizations. We primarily focus on the sociological literature, both the “classics” and the newest works, as well as the problems posed by globalization and imperialism for the very practice of sociology itself. But we also dive into fiction, history, area studies, and popular journalism to clarify the nature of sociological approaches and imagine potentially new directions for sociology.
