Marygrove College Adds New Sociology Course to Fall Schedule

Detroit, Michigan— Marygrove College will offer a new online course, “Sociological Theories,” to help students discover explanations as to why the world is the way it is. The course will identify the forces that shape human experience and determine the nature of societies. It will encompass all aspects of human social life, ranging from the nature of civilization or the origins of capitalism to the processes of human consciousness and the development of the self.

“Although thinkers and philosophers have striven for centuries to understand the nature of society, sociology as an academic discipline got off to a relatively late start,” said Laura Colmenero-Chilberg, assistant professor of sociology at Marygrove College. “This course presents an overview of the most important and well-known social theorists from the past 300 years through present day.”

The course will include a variety of learning activities including online discussions and exercises, as well as several meetings that will be determined by the schedules of the students in the class.
