SOC 3160 Sociology of Photography and Social Changes 3 Hours
Prerequisites: SOC 1010 or Instructor’s consent.
Visual sociology includes use of visual methods to document social life and the analysis of visual materials such as photographs, advertising, graphic novels, and film to understand a culture or society. In this class you will use visual methods to understand yourself and topics of sociological significance. By exploring aspects of daily life (e.g. shopping malls, campus life) and broader social issues (e.g. poverty, incarceration) you will experience how “the self” is created in relationship to others and within particular social / cultural / geographical contexts. What emerges as we explore the ways of life around us? How does visual sociology help us understand ourselves in the world?
