SOCI335

The Public Sociology course permits students to bring their sociological training into the surrounding immediate civil society and public sphere. The course will engage a specific public theme each year that it is offered. For example, cultural differences and Muslim communities in New Jersey: migrants and labor markets in New Jersey. Students will familiarize themselves with the academic literature on the subject and then research it empirically in the field. The intent of the course is for students to examine public issues, and be involved in research that will be useful to the groups being studied and the larger community.
