SOC 5300 - Sociology of Self

Over the past few decades the concepts of self and identity have been at the center of considerable intellectual debate in the social sciences and the humanities. In this course, we’ll explore classic and contemporary perspectives on the self and society, culture and the category of the person. Among other questions, we will consider human agency, reflexivity, self presentation, identity formation, memory, pathology, emotion, and embodiment.
