Soc 454 Sociology through Film

Filmmakers, like sociological fieldworkers, use stories to trace the action of their subjects or characters and scenes to reconstruct their shared social worlds. Through sociological studies and documentary and narrative films, the course examines portrayals of social institutions and processes which may include education, ethnic relations, artistic production, and other fields.
