怎么把《古典社会学理论》这门课教活了?古典文本+当代发展+本土反思

8月备课季！

9月新学年，教《古典社会学理论》，要怎么教了？

尤其是，这些理论家，太老太久了吧。

怎样把这门课教活了？

看了一些课程大纲，其实都多是带着读/精读，古典社会学家的文本，比如韦伯、马克思……

这份来自土耳其海峡大学（Bogazici University）社会学系的Barış Büyükokutan老师，以古典文本+当代发展+本土反思的方式，重新思考这门课的教法。我把各门课的读本，列在下面。有兴趣，可以上这位老师的学术网站上了解更多（及原文）https://boun.academia.edu/BarisBuyukokutan
