SOCI 027B. The Constitution of Knowledge in Modern Society
This course takes classic sociology of knowledge texts as a starting place for an interrogation and discussion of how knowledge is constructed in this culture. Additional texts will be drawn from gender and sexuality studies, black studies, and media studies as we examine the powerful ways that knowledge can be and is differently constructed within our own culture as well as the ways that some kinds of knowledge seem to be categorically intractable across time and space.
Prerequisite: A course in theory, sociology/anthropology, literature, or philosophy.
