That Crazy Diagram

During our first class session, I discussed the difficulty of covering the 44 recognized subfields of American sociology in 30 or so class sessions. I talked about how I’ve organized the course around the 16 “core categories” designated by the American Sociological Association in 2005. This diagram is just to give you a sense of how I’ve organized the class given the breadth of sociology (“we study groups!”). I certainly don’t expect you to memorize this, and this won’t appear on the first exam.
