	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	39033	Lecture-Discussion	IL	1:00PM -1:50PM	MWF	311 Gregory Hall	Ladegaard, I	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/22-05/04/22 Section Title: Economic Sociology Section Info: Did you know that you will benefit in the economy if you know a great deal about the challenges of cultivating pinot noir? You will benefit even more from understanding why this matters. Sociology is, as Pierre Bourdieu once said, a “martial art” that gives you the tools to fight for yourself in a capitalist world. We will also talk about how markets emerge. Are they deliberately created by people and states, or do they come about “naturally?” And once they’ve solidified, how do markets shape people like you? Do they shape the way you think and act? Is it possible or perhaps even likely that you would have a different personality if you participated in a different market? What are alternative markets like? Can we learn from them? In what ways is our market culture changing? What does the future workplace look like? Will it be a neoliberal nightmare in which you’re an independent contractor directed by algorithms, or will we instead see a post-work world in which the boring stuff is automated and we get to focus on creative and social activities? These and other questions will be addressed in this math-free course on the sociological sides of the economy.
	52846	Lecture	RM	10:00AM -10:50AM	MWF	1028 Lincoln Hall	May, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/18/22-05/04/22 Section Title: Sociology of Sport Section Info: This course will explore the structural and cultural relationship of sport to society. Particular attention will be given to issues of race, gender, sexuality, economics, and politics as they relate to sport. We will explore the historical development of sport in America and the ways in which it parallels the growth and development of other social institutions (e.g., schools). Throughout the course we will also explore contemporary issues in sport and society. The ultimate goal of this course is to provide students a sociological understanding of sport that will complement their everyday knowledge of sport. This goal will be achieved through a mixture of lectures, discussions, and written examinations.
