Students will read both primary and secondary contemporary theoretical writings, studying how modern thoery builds on and diverges from classical theories. Major fields of contemporary theory that may be covered include: functional, conflict and neo-Marxist theories, critical theory, the "new scholarship" that criticizes ethnocentric and pattriarchal bias of mainstream sociology and varieties of current microlevel theories. The emphasis is on understanding how each theorist approaches his/her own realm of inquiry, as well as the actual idea systems created. Offered every semester.
