SOC 206H - ISSUES IN GLOBAL SOCIETY


Credits: Four
Prerequisite: Membership in Bascom Honors Program
Global social issues are shaping our lives in unprecedented ways, regardless of where we call home. Through a sociological lens, this course explores many of these complex issues and focuses on strategies used not only by policymakers but by the world’s citizens who are advocates for change. Using the most current data available, issues to be explored include challenges of globalization, ethnic conflict and terrorism, human rights, women and development, population and health, the situation of refugees, and environmental degradation.
