SOC 320 - The Search for Community (4 Cr.)
Scholars and pundits have bemoaned what they see as a “decline in community” in the United States and other Western societies. Is this decline real? If so, why should we care, and what are some ways people have tried to address it? This advanced seminar uses a discussion-based format to engage topics including debates over whether community has declined, the rise of online communities, the link between family structures and broader communities, and efforts to develop and maintain socially and environmentally sustainable “intentional communities” such as cohousing and ecovillages. Prerequisites: Junior standing and one of the following courses: , , , or . Fall semester. Offered 2015-16 and alternate years. Ghoshal.
