Four Special Topics Courses! Consider our “special topics” courses (SOC370 and ANT170) which give students and faculty the chance to focus on a topic that is not currently on the regular curriculum. Please note that you may register for more than one topics class and if you have already taken SOC370 with a different topic, you may again register for SOC370. For Fall 2013, there will be four dif ferent topics offered. The first two of these courses count towards the spe cialization in NonProfit and Community Development.
The first is “Community Based Research and Evaluation” taught by Dr. Diane Bates (SOC37001). Students will learn how community based research and evaluation research are similar to, and different from, other types of research strategies used in sociology. Students will then apply this knowledge to realworld situations, working directly with community part Check us out! ners to research and/or evaluate topics such as youth mentorship, after www.sociology.pages.tcnj.edu school programs, neighborhood resources, prisoner reentry, or community health. There are no prerequisites to this course, although students must be prepared to engage professionally and flexibly with community partners. The second, “Social Movements” taught by Dr. Elizabeth Borland (SOC37002) will examine the ways that people work collectively for social change. Dr. Borland is particularly excited to teach this course since most of her research is on social movements, and because students will read and critique a new text being written by a wellknown scholar of activism who will visit TCNJ to get our constructive feedback, and to talk about his research on collective action. Prerequisites: SOC 101 or ANT 110. The third special topics course “Max Weber and the Disenchantment of the World” brings alive the theory of Max Weber and is taught by Dr. Robert Anderson (SOC37003). Dr. Anderson taught a special topics course on C. Wright Mills and the Sociological Imagination a few years ago to great reviews and is back by popular demand. Weber concentrated on the nature and meaning of the modern world, a world he saw as not just different in degree from tradi tional societies, but different in kind. In particular, he focused on social action and on the increasing importance of ra tionality as a ‘driver’ of such action. In this course, students will read some of Weber’s writings on the nature of sci ence, politics, class and status, bureaucracy, and religion. You will look at his contributions to the method of sociology, to its basic principles, and to some of his special applications. You will also examine his continuing legacy and consid er why his work demands a new and ‘fresh’ reading. The course stands alone and requires no prerequisites beyond an open and inquiring mind. Finally, we are excited to offer a subject that has not been taught by our department for many years: Archaeology! Dr. Lisa Lauria, an expert on Susquehannock Indian ceramics, will introduce students to this field in ANT170: Introduction to Archaeology. Students will explore the collection in our anthropology lab (SB319) and will learn about past human relation ships, behaviors, and beliefs by looking at the stuff people left behind. There are no prerequisites for this course.
