This course examines the social and political contexts in which sociology was formally constituted as an academic discipline. It also offers an interpretive analysis of some of the major ideas, systems of explanation, and modes of analysis generated by the early sociologists. It is strongly recommended that Sociology 3010 and 3020 not be taken in the same year as Sociology 3310 and 3320. Three hours a week. 07-09-2022-21-12-2022 Web Monday, Wednesday 03:00PM - 04:15PM, Room to be Announced
