Fall 2019
Department of Sociology, METU
Course Objective
This is an introductory course that aims to familiarize you with the
central theoretical and methodological currents within the discipline of
sociology. We will discuss the issues, which have been the traditional
focus of sociology, such as the emergence of modernity and capitalism,
industrialization and urbanization, as well as relatively newer subjects
such as the emergence of politics of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual
preferences etc. Although we will cover a wide variety of topics, we will
focus more thoroughly on different forms of inequalities of the
contemporary world based on various axes of social difference such as
social class, race, ethnicity and gender.
