SOSC 509
- Statistics for Social Science (Fall, 2003)
This course provides an
introduction to quantitative methods in empirical social research, and
how they are used to assemble, describe, and draw inferences from
bodies of data. T Models for categorical variables are reserved for a
more advanced course. The course material is explored through the
analysis of real data sets using the statistical package called STATA.
SOSC 534
- Quantitative Analysis in Social
Scienc
|
| |
This course introduces graduate
students several advanced quantitative methods in empirical social
science research, building on topics covered in SOSC 509. |

SOSC 003 - Introduction to
Contemporary China |
|
|
This course surveys the post-1949 Chinese society, focusing
on social changes since 1978. It draws work on China not
only in sociology, but also broadly in other social science
disciplines. The course is structured as a thematic
discussion of some major issues in socialist and
post-socialist Chinese society. We will explore the basic
institutional make-up of Chinese society, the structural
changes brought forth in the reform era, and how these
institutions configure the social life in contemporary
China. We will pay attention to both changes from and
continuities with the pre-reform past. After taking this
course, students would be able to make sense of the impact
of reform on social structure/institutions, individuals’
life chances, and social relations. |
