SOCI GR5051

The three foundational classics accompany us in the first part of the course and we go into the micro-analysis with Dubois (which I really appreciate we include him),Simmel and Goffman. Reading these masterpieces is a pleasure to me and the assignments as well as the discussions offer the opportunities to reflect on them, especially in today's context, and teach me to consider classic theories in a historically context and should not ever position them in an apodeictic ground.

I learned a lot. I learned the foundations of theory but also became skilled at applying my learnings to modern issues.

I have learnt sociological concepts from those canons, and topics discussed in the contemporary sociological research.

This was an incredible class. Arianas reading list, lectures, and group discussions were incredibly informative. I learned the foundations of sociological theory and how to apply them to contemporary issues. I also gain skills in writing and analyzing difficult and complex theoretical texts.

I learned a lot to build on my knowledge of sociological theory. The course readings were extensive, and I feel as if the reading was comprehensive for a classical social theory course.

I was able to understand foundational sociological theorist that have expanded on societal issues and concepts.
