Sociology 3011
Social Thought
Fall 1997

Prof. Paul Wehr 492-2623 Office: Ketchum 214 Hours: Th 10-12

Social theory should illuminate and clarify our everyday life for us. It should help us understand where our personal biography intersects with both the history of our society and that of the groups to which we belong. The awareness we thereby gain should permit us to develop strategies to bring meaning and empowerment to our personal and public lives.
