Social Futures

Please note: this is archived course information from 2017 for SOCIOL 338.

Description

Social Futures re-imagines sociology in view of major economic, ecological and political crises taking place in the world today. The course considers how these developments are represented in the media, whether there is any credibility in apocalyptic visions they inspire and what such visions tell us about general perceptions of the direction in which society is headed.
