Sociology Paper

As the “capstone” course in the UCI Sociology major, Soc 180 is designed to provide each student with an opportunity to do a paper that introduces him/her to sociological research and writing. Each student will choose a specific topic, within the broader seminar theme of globalization, social change, and inequality. Papers can take the form of literature reviews, proposals for research, theoretical arguments/critiques, “position papers,” etc. in any case, the key will be to develop a solid sociological argument based on class readings and some additional bibliography and statistical information.
