The following courses may be offered in 2024-2025: SOCY 422 /3.0 units Winter Digital Capitalism The aim of this course is for students to obtain a more nuanced understanding about the various ways in which information and communication technologies are involved in maintaining or disrupting social order, paying particular attention to questions of power and social inequalities. SOCY 425/3.0 units Fall 001 Selected Topics: Issues in Reproduction - Surrogacy This fourth year seminar critically engages a social history of surrogacy with an emphasis on current debates and regulation. The first half of the seminar will be devoted to reading and response to assigned material. The second half of the course will consist of student-led presentations on a topic chosen from a list provided by the instructor. This topic will also be the subject of a research essay due at the end of the term. The course material will include critical questions currently at play including the commercialization of surrogacy (especially in Canada), surrogacy in context of international reproductive flows, regulation (primarily in Canada), the role of social media, the impact of organized religious beliefs, and the impact on kinship including on members of LGTB2+ communities. The readings reflect an intersectional materialist feminist focus and include opposing views. All readings will be available through the Queens Library system and on public sites. The course material will be available through OnQ. SOCY 425/3.0 units Fall 002 Selected Topics: Sociology of Death, Media and Digital Culture This seminar offers an in-depth exploration of the sociological perspectives on death, and its relationship with media, emerging technologies, and digital culture. The course begins with a broad investigation into the dominant theoretical models that conceptualize the ways in which we manage, and makes sense of, death. After briefly tracing the historical entanglements between developments in communications technologies and memorialization rituals, this course then turns to a critical exploration of contemporary digital mourning practices and trends such as: memorialization on social media platforms; veneration in video games and online worlds; celebrity deaths and mediated rituals; and AI-powered immortality and digital resurrection. During weekly discussions, students will be encouraged to draw from the relevant theoretical models in order to critically reflect on questions such as: what are the dominant norms and expectations surrounding grief expressions and mourning practices; who has the right to grieve; what constitutes a grievable life; how do emerging digital mourning practices blur the boundaries between offline and online spaces, and between life and death; how should digital data or remains be treated after death; what do new technological developments mean in terms of the identities of the deceased and the bereaved; and how do we understand the ethical and social implications of emerging practices? SOCY 425/3.0 units Fall 003 Selected Topics: Media, Crime and Society This course will explore the role of media in constructing the social understanding of crime. Students will consider advanced theoretical and substantive topics relating to the function of media within society, media portrayals of crime, and the effects of media-aided realities of crime. Furthermore, students will explore methodological challenges and best practices for researching media and crime. SOCY 425/3.0 units Winter 001 Selected Topics: Queer Criminology Description coming soon. SOCY 426/3.0 units Winter Selected Topics: Perspectives on Policing Through the use of empirical evidence and academic literature, this course will present the various, and often contrasting, perspectives surrounding a number of contemporary North American policing innovations; including community policing, broken-windows policing, hotspots policing, intelligence-led policing, and the use of modern technologies such as body cameras. SOCY 428/3.0 units Winter Selected Topics: Cybercolonialism Cybercolonialism refers to geopolitical control and dominance of the use of digital data, information, and communication technologies (ICTs), which lead to the exploitation and marginalization of the inhabitants of particular territories, neighborhoods and regions. This course explores the link between analog and digital othering practices and the politics of representation by focusing on the power imbalances caused by data extraction, data mining, and predictive analytics. We will also curiously look for emerging subjectivities such as data-scientist, cybaltern and artificial intelligence to name a few and try to understand how discursive and material authority over technology and artificial intelligence both shape our access to information and re-define what information is. In addition to discussing the politics of access in digital times, the course also explores the ethical, social, and political issues surrounding efforts for closing the digital (gender) gap to promote worldwide use of technology and participation in the global digital economy. SOCY 429/3.0 units Winter Selected Topics: Love, Sex & Sociology While issues connected with love and sex may seem personal and private, they are in fact deeply social. Not just sites for the creation of various bonds and relationships, love and sex are also arenas where the politics of power and resistance play out. This class explores the various ways that sex is shaped by and helps to constitute power and inequality in society. By engaging with at time contentious, social and political debates around sexuality (e.g., hook up culture, headscarves, consent, abortion, sex work, marriage rights, FGM, bathroom panics), we will consider how the rituals and practices of love and sex are shaped by (and help to shape) race, class, gender (and other) inequalities in Canada and globally. Our explorations will also review some of the ways that colonial histories and various other forms of globalization make themselves felt in contemporary intimate practices around the world. The course will deploy global, comparative and intersectional frameworks to examine some of the most important contemporary issues and debates around sexuality. Students will engage in reflective thinking, critical media analyses and dynamic group discussion in order to develop a critical understanding of love, sex and intimacy from a sociological perspective. SOCY 458/3.0 units Winter Law and Ideology Examination of the relationship between law and ideology with particular reference to current controversies; legal reasoning in substantive areas of law, and the place of law with reference to social control, power, social conflict, and dispute resolution; laws interconnections to state ordering and economic relations emphasized. SOCY 475/3.0 units Fall Advanced Studies in Deviance and Social Control Critical study of theories and practices of social control in Canada and comparable societies insofar as they are implemented by law or regulation and rely on coercion; main agencies of social control and assumptions of their operation emphasized. Prerequisite: SOCY 275 SOCY 511/3.0 units Fall Special Topics: Children, Youth and the Law This seminar examines the development of juvenile justice in Canada and the sociological study of youth crime. Students will critically examine the theory and empirical research that has developed in sociology and criminology focussing on juvenile offenders. SOCY-520/6.0 units Fall/Winter Thesis Option An intensive study of a particular topic or question, usually consisting of a number of sections or chapters which form a single coherent work. The topic is chosen by the student in consultation with an academic advisor, and the work covers both terms. A brief giving details of the requirements is available in the Department; students should read this before the end of their third year. Before enrolling in this course, students must secure a faculty supervisor. A meeting between the Undergraduate Chair and students is normally held in the Fall Term to discuss questions about the thesis. Please Note: Other Fourth Year Seminar courses or Reading courses may subsequently be offered, depending on availability of teaching resources and student interest/demand. Conversely, a fourth year seminar course originally listed as being offered could be removed.     +,-./CDμ}k[K;+;hcB*OJQJmH phsH h9B*OJQJmH phsH hB*OJQJmH phsH hB*OJQJmH phsH "h!\G5B*OJQJmH phsH /hfh!\G5>*B*OJQJaJmH phsH ,h#h!\G5B*CJOJQJmH phsH h!\GB*OJQJmH phsH "hY5B*OJQJmH phsH 0h: h!\G5B*CJOJQJaJmH phsH 0h: hE 5B*CJOJQJaJmH phsH +,-.Cjj ,p@ P !$gd= ,p@ P !$0`0 ,p@ P !$#$ ,p@ P !$./a$gdX $ ,p@ P !$./a$  $ ) 0 6 ϹzjZJ4+h6h65B*OJQJ\mH phsH h!HsB*OJQJmH phsH hyB*OJQJmH phsH h@bB*OJQJmH phsH %h&ehI}B*OJQJmH phsH +h&ehV15B*OJQJ\mH phsH +h&eh95B*OJQJ\mH phsH +h&eh@b5B*OJQJ\mH phsH hX]TB*OJQJmH phsH hdB*OJQJmH phsH h!\GB*OJQJmH phsH  6 7 I J . f g h q z ʺm]G5#"hP5B*OJQJmH phsH "hV15B*OJQJmH phsH +hV1hV15B*OJQJ\mH phsH hV1B*OJQJmH phsH %h&ehV1B*OJQJmH phsH +h&ehV15B*OJQJ\mH phsH "h(;5B*OJQJmH phsH "h5B*OJQJmH phsH h9B*OJQJmH phsH "h^vc5B*OJQJmH phsH "h95B*OJQJmH phsH "h@b5B*OJQJmH phsH  7 J f g h v[VgdZ & `0p@ $1$gdV1 ,p@ P !$gdV1 & `0p@ $1$gd, & `0p@ $1$gd9 & `0p@ $1$gd^vc ,p@ P !$gd, g g+/0Dsʽn^H6"hbD5B*OJQJmH phsH +hV1hP5B*OJQJ\mH phsH hPB*OJQJmH phsH %h&ehPB*OJQJmH phsH +h&ehP5B*OJQJ\mH phsH hV1B*OJQJmH phsH +h~hV15B*OJQJ\mH phsH hZhZOJQJ^J"hV15B*OJQJmH phsH "hP5B*OJQJmH phsH "h8+5B*OJQJmH phsH 0tT[gd  & `0p@ $1$gdPgd4d & `0p@ $1$gdbD ,p@ P !$gdP ,p@ P !$gd lst'x'{%OSTVr``"hP5B*OJQJmH phsH +hV1hP5B*OJQJ\mH phsH hPB*OJQJmH phsH %h&ehPB*OJQJmH phsH +h&ehP5B*OJQJ\mH phsH h4dhbDOJQJ^Jh4dh4d6OJQJ]^Jh4dh4dOJQJ^J(hbDhP5B*OJQJmH phsH VWh"+TZ[pܻoYF3%h 5B*OJQJ\mH phsH %h(;5B*OJQJ\mH phsH +h&eh&e5B*OJQJ\mH phsH %hbhPB*OJQJmH phsH +h&ehP5B*OJQJ\mH phsH hPB*OJQJmH phsH %hP5B*OJQJ\mH phsH h h OJQJ^JaJ"h 5B*OJQJmH phsH "hP5B*OJQJmH phsH "h&e5B*OJQJmH phsH  z{ótbbP>b4'h h&eOJQJ^Jh&eOJQJ^J"h&e5B*OJQJmH phsH "h85B*OJQJmH phsH "h l5B*OJQJmH phsH %hz5B*OJQJ\mH phsH +h6h!Hs5B*OJQJ\mH phsH +h6h l5B*OJQJ\mH phsH h lB*OJQJmH phsH +hbh l5B*OJQJ\mH phsH +hbh~5B*OJQJ\mH phsH hPB*OJQJmH phsH  z{|   Mi ,p@ P !$gd?$a$gdh}gd & `0p@ $1$gd% & `0p@ $1$gd&e & `0p@ $1$gd l ,p@ P !$gd l {|{¬r`UJ(?())<))))))*#*;********ymmaL(h!\G56>*B*OJQJmH phsH hJB*mH phsH h!\GB*mH phsH h{/B*OJQJmH phsH hy B*OJQJmH phsH h]B*OJQJmH phsH "h!\G6B*OJQJmH phsH h;)sB*OJQJmH phsH "h]5B*OJQJmH phsH "h!\G5B*OJQJmH phsH h!\GB*OJQJmH phsH ****++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++h!\GhuOjhuOUhJB*OJQJmH phsH h!\GB*OJQJmH phsH %h!\G56B*OJQJmH phsH #+++++++++++++++++++" ,p@ P !$`1$^`` ,p@ P !$d ,p@ P !$6:puO@PBP/ =!"#$% = 01F:puO@PBP/ =!"#@$% ~x666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@66666_HmH nH sH tH <`< NormalCJ_HmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontViV  Table Normal :V 44 la (k (No List jj Y6 Table Grid7:V0vv _levnl12L ,p@ P !$h1$]^h`..
