SOCI 216 - Sociology of War

An examination of the impact of modern global warfare on societies across the world, seeking to understand how modern wars led to unprecedentedly brutal and technologically advanced forms of mass killing, but also have paradoxically accelerated innovation and weakened social inequality. Students give attention to cultural representations of warfare and how culture has shaped views of warfare. The approach is one of historical sociology, with major foci on the World Wars and colonial and post-colonial wars.
