Special Course section for GenX only - This course will take students beyond the books and the classroom - into the real life experience of activists, leaders and agents of positive social change. Making the personal political, students enrolled in this course will select and complete a community activism project focusing on a gender issue. For students who actually want to "do something," this course will introduce you to real women and men working on gender issues (body image, politics, domestic violence, art authors, entrepreneurs, rebels, etc). Students will learn the key issues and controversies of past and present feminist/social movements, and what activists are doing today. While exploring the components of ethical leadership, students will learn how to apply classroom theory to the real world around them - gaining academic and professional experience.

Most sociology courses focus on reading sociology, sometimes even experiencing it, but do not focus on seeing sociology. This introductory course is designed to help students locate sociological phenomena through the visual media of popular films. The various films in this course will be introduced, presented and discussed within a sociological framework. We will spend a portion of the course discussing how various film techniques affect the depiction of society, but primarily we will focus on locating and understanding sociological processes in the films. For Fall 2007, we will focus on depictions of women in film.
