Abstract

This is an Introduction to Sociology course syllabus with a civic engagement emphasis. Sociology is one of the most well-suited disciplines to address civic issues and civic engagement. Sociology examines social life, social problems, and civic issues from “private troubles” to “public issues” and how these are interconnected (see C. Wright Mills). Social activism, which is a form of civic engagement, is one of sociology’s core commitments.
