社会理論の基礎と応用
Sociological Theory
現代社会学の理論を理解し、実証分析に応用できるようになる
This course examines theories served as the central concerns of sociology. A theory in its most simple form is an idea that guides and explains observations of the world. Every scientific discipline has theories that both guide observation and provide characteristic or explanations. In sociology, the idea allows for seeing patterns, forces, and power relations, encouraging us to make sense of all kinds of social phenomena, ranging from everyday interactions between friends to decades of violent conflicts. In this class, we will read theoretical texts every week, and then we will spend time understanding how they are used to understand specific social phenomena. Theory must be relevant to real life, that is, social facts to survive, and we will work toward bridging the abstract concepts in our readings with the world around us.
