Abstract

Today, societies around the world are undergoing numerous large socioeconomic and political transformations, such as globalization and neoliberalism, as well as structural changes in state-society relations and market dynamics. This course uses contemporary sociological theories—which aim to explain these transformations and structural changes in a comparative and historical perspective—to understand the issues that society faces.This course approaches sociological theories and issues in a thematic manner and analyzes socio-economic and political macro categories, groups, markers, and identities (such as class, race, gender, ethnicity, and nation). It considers how macro, meso, and micro social realities interact and intersect, as well as how these interact and transform dynamically through periods of stasis and transformation.Using papers published in prominent sociology journals (such as the Annual Review of Sociology, the American Journal of Sociology, and Theory and Society), the course aims to provide students with the tools to apply these theories creatively in conceptualizing, analyzing, and understanding the complex realities of contemporary society.
