SOCI 660 - 001: Hist/Comprtive Sociology

This is a seminar in the theory and methods of historical and comparative sociology. We start with an exploration of the classic texts in the field. Then we plunge into historical methods: archival, oral history, census data, and newspaper and content analysis. We will practice these methods, including visiting several archives. Along the way, we will discuss excellent examples of these methods, surveys of developments in the field, and intriguing issues brought up by this field.
