SOCI 4010 - Sociology through Experiential Learning

3 - 3

4010. Sociology through Experiential Learning. 3 hours. Service Learning is an experiential learning program which integrates academic course work into community service, in this case, family literacy at the Dallas Public Library. SOCI 4010 is designed to foster critical thinking, social & personal responsibility, and teamwork. As a source of reflection, dialogue, and analysis, students will teach in the family literacy program (either adult ESL class or in the 9-and-under children’s program). The course readings and assignments address several sociological themes, such as how ethnicity, civic engagement, socio-economic class, immigration, education, and public institutions relate to one’s subjectivities and agency as a participant in a service learning project.
