HUMN 3311 - Readings in the Social Sciences

(4 CR, 4T + 0L)

In this seminar, taught in the conversational method, students will read and discuss great works and ideas from the major social sciences. The works from these disciplines, such as Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, and Economics, explore the social structures that influence how we understand our social environment and ourselves. Often these works-such as the works of the psychologist Sigmund Freud-have themselves influenced our shared and individual experience so profoundly that they shape, perhaps unknowingly, our view of the world.
