SOC 225 Theories of Social Change (3 SH)

This course is designed as an introduction to key sociological theories, with a focus on how these impact the dynamics of social change. The theories covered range from micro social- psychology perspectives to macro-structural approaches. The course specifically interrogates how ideas about the nature of social relations influence our perceptions of how social systems are constructed, deconstructed and reconstructed. Most importantly, students experience how social theories are driving agents of change on the personal, local and global levels. Registration priority is given to DASS majors and students whose programs require this course. Prerequisite: PXD 151 or SOC 101 or SOC 201. (PXD 225)
