My Quick Introduction
Methods: Ethnography
Theoretical Traditions in Sociology
I like The Sociology Project quite a bit, however, it doens't explicitly delve into the major sociological theories. They're in there, but not clearly examined. I've included a couple of short videos to give you a sense of these ideas. On this page, I've included Structural Functionalism and Marxian Social Conflict. A Symbolic Interactionism video can be found in the Chapter 3 folder.
The following videos make some reference to specific authors and texts. Until I state otherwise, you need not focus on that, however, do focus on the tenets of the theories.
Structural Functionalism
Social Conflict (though labeled as simply Marxism in the video)
Post-Modernism (yes, it's the most difficult to "get," so would be a good topic for discussions)
