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

Büyükokutan 社会学理论大缸 2022-06-17

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
