SOC 252 - Garbage: Sociological Studies of Trash2 credits
Garbage is the other side of culture. In this course we consider some of the historical, cultural, sociological, and political aspects of garbage, waste, refuse, and dirt. Our garbage and our waste can be considered a mirror in which our actions and our values are reflected back to us. Students will look through sociology at a number of controversies and debates about what trash is, what we do with it, and how we suffer from it. Thinking critically about trash will bring us up against many of the most pressing social and environmental issues human beings face today. Prerequisite: SOC 101 . Offering to be determined.
