Description: In this class, we will analyze how current trends in media and pop culture both reflect and are reflected in society. We will explore the effects that various kinds of popular culture have on how identities and behaviors are viewed and labeled. Sociology is 'the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior'. Put another way, sociologists study the ways that we are social beings - the idea that while we are all individuals with our own thoughts, opinions, and desires, we are also products of society. Our experiences, identities, and culture influence the way that we see and move through the world. One of the clearest ways to see this influence is through popular culture. The sources of media that we are exposed to and/or choose to consume can significantly impact what and who we consider normal or strange, right or wrong, and good or bad. Types of popular culture that will be covered are fashion, fiction and fandom, television, movies, music, and music videos.

Description: This course focuses on deviance from a sociological perspective. Deviance through a sociological lens focuses on how and why a belief, behavior, or person is labeled 'deviant' rather than on the acts/behaviors/identities themselves. Deviance in sociology is about situation. Labeling something as deviant is not classifying facts, but instead is a process. This process isn't uniform - it is impacted by things like socialization (what norms are in place?), timing, audience, and power. Using theory, we will explore things often considered deviant including bodily and cognitive difference, crime, sexuality and sexual behavior, race and racism, cyber-deviance, and gender.
