SOC 215 - Sociology of Community

3 Credits

Students in this course utilize a sociological perspective to explore the social forces that shape communities in the 21st Century. Focusing on rural, urban, and suburban areas, students examine how market forces intersect with race, class, and gender in shaping communities throughout the U.S. In addition, students participate in direct community engagement activities at the College and in the Chequamegon Bay region as a way of enchancing their classroom work with hands on experience.
