The Sociology program at the University of Texas at Arlington will offer a new theory course this Fall (2019) entitled “Social Theory Through Popular Culture.” The course is open to all UTA students. Sociology students can take this in lieu of Sociological Theory (but students can take both theory classes, too!). The idea is to read original theorists (from Marx to Judith Butler) and interpret them through films, TV, music and video games (from Star Wars to Grand Theft Auto V). This is an exciting opportunity for students to understand the everyday world around us. Contact Dr. David Arditi for more information.
