EDP, GS, SS- Sociologists have long noted the ways in which society construes particular events, ideologies, practices, and social trends as ¿Social Problems.¿ This course examines how social problems evolve on local, national, and global stages, and how these problems are understood and addressed by different actors in society. In addition, the sociological imagination will be used as a lens to illuminate how individuals, social groups, and social institutions are influenced by social problems. Social problems relating to inequalities, health, the environment, migration, and technology will be a critical focus.
