RELS 39901 - Islamic Origins:did Muhammad Exist? Course Credit: 1
ISLAMIC ORIGINS What does archeological evidence tell us about the beginnings of Islam? Is there any evidence for Muhammad as a historical personage? Did he have anything to do with the Qur’an? Was Islam a distinctive religion, a socio-political movement, a heretical branch of Judaism? This course is about a subfield in Islamic Studies that is highly politicized, prone to vicious infighting, and home to ultra-skeptical arguments that challenge the conventional history of the origins of Islam. It will demand that you be open to seriously considering extremely skeptical arguments, as well as examining how a single inscription on a coin or building can overturn an entire historical narrative. It is guaranteed to overturn everything you think you know or don’t know about Islam. Prerequisite(s): 1 course in RELS [AH, R]

SOCI 21600 - Masculinities Course Credit: 1
(WGSS)
MASCULINITIES An introduction to the sociological study of masculinity in its various guises in the contemporary United States. The theoretical perspective of the course is based on three fundamental premises: there is no single masculinity, but rather multiple masculinities; individuals in society are best understood as doing gender rather than as being gender; and masculinities are not static identities, but are fluid, fragile, negotiated, and always subject to contestation. The course explores the complex world of American masculinities through a series of overlapping themes that students will reflect on and analyze as the class progresses through a variety of writing assignments.

SOCI 29905 - Social Movements Course Credit: 1
SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Social Movements are collective, organized, and sustained efforts to promote social change by people who perceive injustice but often lack routine access to power. Why are social movements collective–i.e., why do people take action together rather than individually? How are they organized, and what are the consequences of different kinds of organization? Who are these people? How do they come to think of themselves as sharing a common and valued identity? What determines social movement success or failure–the opportunities available, or the strategies used? How does the media influence movements? We explore these questions and relevant theories through several case studies: the civil rights movement, contemporary organized racism (e.g., hate movements), global/transnational movements, and online activism. Prerequisite(s): SOCI-10000 or permission of instructor [HSS, SJ, W]

We will examine how inequality and privilege relate to urban space, highlighting how race, class, gender, ethnicity and sexuality affect the physical and social geographies of cities.

SOAN 20100 - Education in Sociocultural Context Course Credit: 1
(ANTH, EDUC, SOCI)
EDUCATION IN SOCIOCULTURAL CONTEXT This course is designed to acquaint students with selected anthropological and sociological perspectives on the study of education. A central objective of the course is to communicate a comparative perspective on the educative process in our own and other societies and to sharpen awareness of socio-cultural influences on educational institutions. The first half of the course will use case studies of education in Africa and Asia, as well as of Amish schooling in the United States, to show how powerful historical, social, economic, and political forces shape teaching and learning in each location. We will also explore the rise and global spread of mass schooling and examine the continuities and discontinuities between formal schooling and informal learning in the family and community in each area. The second half of the course will closely examine the sociological and anthropological literature on schooling in the United States, including the teaching profession, curriculum and testing, and the educational bureaucracy. Special attention will be given to how race, ethnicity, gender, social class, and sexuality shape the schooling process. A final goal of the course is to allow students to better understand the educational policy choices debated at all levels of government and to gain an appreciation for the hidden barriers to educational reform, as well as the levers of change.
