The curriculum for Sociology of the Arts includes a study of each decade from the 1920s-80s. We research the social, economic and political environment of each decade and then study how that environment impacted areas like: art, music, literature, dance, clothing, automobiles, music, etc. This is a project based class. Students work in a group setting. In the past students have created newspapers, radio broadcast, and video productions in addition to creating a "Jeopardy" style trivia game for the 1940s or 1950s. If possible, students will experience at least one guest speaker. Every effort is made to take a field trip.
Stay tuned for further information. This course is being offered Second Semester -- January 2008.
