SOC 6460 - Seminar in Economic Sociology

(CU-SBY)

Spring. 4 credits. Student option grading.

F. Garip.

Introduces the field of economic sociology and covers major topics addressed by sociologists studying the intersection of economy and society. We begin with classic statements on economic sociology and then move to the invigoration of the field in recent years, reading works that have been instrumental in this invigoration. Consideration is given to the several variants of “institutionalism” that have informed the sociological study of markets, organizations, and economic exchange.
