Sociology 301 - Writing in Sociology

What should sociologists write and how? This course looks at writing in sociology, and investigates how writers move from an interest or a hunch to a finished piece of research-based writing. We'll practice various writing skills such as posing questions, crafting thesis statements, and organizing paragraphs into effective arguments. As we do, you will see how our choices as writers can shift the tone and impact of a sociological argument to say more meaningful and specific things about an urgent issue.

Open to Junior & Senior Sociology primary majors only. CW Gen Ed Fulfills the junior year writing requirement.
