SOCY 92 Community-Engaged Research Practicum

Sociologists have a dual commitment to adequately understand society through rigorous observation and to better the society they live in. In this capstone course, we will work together as a class to answer a research question that helps a community partner address key social problems in the Upper Valley and offer solutions to these problems. We will draw upon shared knowledge of sociological research and theory accumulated over your Dartmouth career and seek out new knowledge, perspectives, and methods that help us answer our research question and better the community. As a capstone course, it is expected that students will take the lead during class meetings as well as in research design, execution, and analysis. Faculty will play an advisory role, providing methodological and substantive guidance along the way.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
