SOC 245 Social Psychology: A Sociological Approach

Using a micro-sociological approach to social psychology, this class examines the ways in which peoples' "humanness" (e.g., thoughts, embodiment, feelings, positionality, interpretations, meaning-making, performances, subjectivities, identities, interactions, and lived experiences) shape and are shaped by social forces (i.e., culture, history, and social structure.) This involves an overview and critical analyses of concepts, theories, epistemologies, and methods/methodologies central to the principles, processes, and practices of a sociologically informed social psychology.
