Dual listed as SOC 320 This is a praxis-seminar course in which students will participate experientially in the multiple aspects of a praxis project and meet weekly for round-table discussions to process their experience. Seminar discussion groups will also engage shared readings, view relevant media, critically analyze social situations, and inquire into values, experiential modes, and attitudes. The written component of the praxis project will be public-directed (e.g., an article for a local newspaper, a book chapter, or a community writing project). All students must write an analytic research paper or present to the class an oral report based on their research.
