Цель освоения дисциплины

Throughout the course, students deal with questions relating to the nature of sociology; the methodology and methods which sociologists use; and the major sociological perspectives. The classical foundations of sociological theory, beginning with the works of Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, are discussed and followed by those sociologists of the 20th century who had some effect on how we think about and do sociology. The course is designed to • broaden and deepen students' engagement with theory and empirical research in sociology • develop skills of reading, understanding, and critically discussing different sociological theories • integrate theorizing with empirical research for exploration of the ways different theories, methods and evidence can shape our understanding of events and phenomena • develop analytical essay writing skills.
