Chen, Feinian
Gilman 219
Spring 2025
This course aims to introduce you to key concepts, methods, and tools used in social science research. We begin with an overview of the logic of human inquiry and science, the link between theory and scientific research, and research ethics. Subsequently, we will delve into a few key elements of sociological research, including how to translate concepts into operational measures that are both reliable and valid. We will then cover the importance of sampling and sampling strategies. We will also introduce several modes of conducting empirical research, including experiments, qualitative field research, and survey research, giving attention to the relative strengths and weaknesses of each approach. You will learn how to conduct basic statistical analyses using secondary data towards the end of the semester. Throughout the course, we will cover important skills such as conducting literature reviews, designing research, and refining your ability to read and write social science research. The goal is to enhance your ability to critically assess social science research and to learn how to choose appropriate research methods for specific research questions.

Deluca, Stefanie
Abel Wolman House 100
Spring 2025
Recent national conversations about racial segregation, inequality and the affordable housing crisis raise many important questions—this course focuses on several of these questions, through the lens of urban sociology and housing policy. There are three main areas we will focus on in the course: 1) Understanding the role of racial segregation, neighborhood and housing effects on children and family life; 2) Research methods for studying urban poverty and neighborhoods; and 3) Programs, policies and initiatives designed to house the poor, alleviate concentrated spatial poverty, and increase residential choice. We will primarily focus on issues related to urban poverty in large cities, comparing the patterns of residential mobility and neighborhood characteristics for white and Black Americans. We will utilize archival data, qualitative interviews, census data, and quasi/experimental data to gather evidence about neighborhoods, housing, and policies, as well as their impacts. We will also explore interactive online applications that facilitate the study of neighborhoods (e.g. American Community Survey, GIS with Social Explorer). A statistics/public policy background is helpful, but not required.

The field of medicine has been a key site where race has been constructed, deployed, and contested. Race and racism have played a crucial role in the development of medicine in the United States, from the medicalization of Blackness to different racialized health indicators. Through this course we will ask: How has the field of medicine constructed race? And how have race and racism been challenged within medicine? This is an upper-level, reading intensive seminar course.

What is the relationship between space and society? In this course, we will challenge the idea that space is a mere container of human interactions and activities. We will learn how top-down decisions about space (e.g., the dismantling of public housing, land dispossession, the formation of refugee camps) contribute to social hierarchies along class, gender, race, and caste lines. We will then consider how bottom-up movements use space to resist oppression and promote social change. We will draw on theoretical and empirical work from the social sciences and urban studies, and explore cases from several regions of the world, spanning the last few decades.
Students in the course will also practice broader essential skills in the social sciences, including summarizing academic arguments, connecting empirical observations to theoretical debates, and making clear and concise arguments.

Medical Humanitarianism

Gilman 400
Spring 2025
Humanitarian organizations play life-preserving roles in global conflicts, and have front-row views of disasters ranging from the 2010 Haiti earthquake to the 2011 Fukushima tsunami in Japan. Yet even while they provide vital assistance to millions of people in crisis, such organizations are beset by important paradoxes that hinder their capacity to create sustainable interventions. They work to fill long-lasting needs, but are prone to moving quickly from one site to the next in search of the latest emergency. They strive to be apolitical, yet are invariably influenced by the geopolitical agendas of global powers. How do such contradictions arise, and what is their impact upon millions of aid recipients around the world? Drawing on case studies from South Sudan to Haiti, this course addresses these contradictions by exploring how and why medical aid organizations attempt, and sometimes fail, to reconcile short-term goals, such as immediate life-saving, with long-term missions, such as public health programs and conflict resolution initiatives.

This course examines how American cities have evolved since the United States ratified the radically new vision of race promoted by the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. We will study the changing geography of race and class in American cities and their surrounding suburbs and what that evolution has meant for inequality. We will also consider how this shifting geography of race and class affects current debates in metropolitan policies like gentrification and tax policy. We will look to the future to examine what issues might come about in the coming decades and how we might avoid similar problems to those in history.

This course explores the complex interplay between race, class, and the politics of decolonization and national independence in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean and Latin America. Through diverse theories, primary sources, and comparative case studies, students will analyze how racialized and exploited groups have challenged systems of imperial and colonial domination while seeking to assert different meanings of freedom. The course moves beyond traditional decolonization narratives that restrict frameworks spatially to the boundaries of the nation-state and temporally to the post-World War II period. By historicizing decolonization struggles and emphasizing the transnational and comparative dimensions of the ideologies and practices of decolonization, we will explore how race and class dynamics within countries intersect with global power relations to shape the politics and processes of decolonization.

How can we develop ways of linking all the different elements of today’s “polycrisis” into a strong account of the contemporary world? One way might be to study what makes profit for capitalism – and what doesn’t. The Spring 2025 Arrighi General Seminar is titled “Value, Price and Profit in the Contemporary World System.” It explores the bridges between Marx’s theory of value and contemporary politics. We’ll begin by reading from Marx himself, then move on to a variety of contemporary case studies that link the dynamics of capitalist profitability to commodity speculation, the development of AI, the green transition, and the rise of right-wing populism. The final section of the course will feature in-person visits from alumni of the Arrighi Center seminars, who are doing cutting-edge research on political economy. Participants in the Arrighi’s Center’s weekly general seminar include faculty and students from a wide range of social science and humanities departments and programs. Undergraduates signing up under 230.376 will participate in both the main General Seminar with faculty and graduate students, followed by a special discussion section for undergraduates.

Arrighi Center Undergraduate Seminar-Spring AS.230.376 (01)
How can we develop ways of linking all the different elements of today’s “polycrisis” into a strong account of the contemporary world? One way might be to study what makes profit for capitalism – and what doesn’t. The Spring 2025 Arrighi General Seminar is titled “Value, Price and Profit in the Contemporary World System.” It explores the bridges between Marx’s theory of value and contemporary politics. We’ll begin by reading from Marx himself, then move on to a variety of contemporary case studies that link the dynamics of capitalist profitability to commodity speculation, the development of AI, the green transition, and the rise of right-wing populism.

Refugees, Human Rights, and Sovereignty
Th 11:30AM - 2:00PM
Naveh Benjamin, Ilil

Spring 2025
What is a refugee? Since World War II, states that have pledged to offer protection to refugees have frequently been drawn instead to the dictates of nationalism and communitarianism, which prioritize concern for their own citizens, rather than to the needs of forced migrants. As a result, even those migrants that have been formally recognized as refugees according to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention have not been assured of protection, and other migrants have been even less assured. In this course, we will locate the reasons for this reality in the legal, political, and historical underpinnings of political asylum. What is the difference between an asylum seeker and a refugee? How has the refugee category been redefined and contested by international bodies since 1951? How are the ambiguities of real-life violence and persecution simplified in asylum adjudication interviews that require clear, factual narratives? What kinds of protections are offered to asylum seekers, whether by UN bodies, NGOs, or host governments, and how have such protections varied geographically and historically? Finally, what protections, if any, are afforded to those migrants who are fleeing not persecution but rather “merely” endemic poverty or climate-induced displacement? The course draws on literature from sociology, history, anthropology, and international refugee law in order to understand the capacity (or lack thereof) of human rights discourses and declarations to contravene state sovereignty in the name of protecting the rightless.

Global Migration and Refugees: Applied Research and Practice Seminar
Th 2:30PM - 5:00PM
Agarwala, Rina
555 Penn 448
Spring 2025
This course will introduce students to the cutting-edge debates on global migration and refugees and give them a first-hand look at the complicated interactions between research, politics, and policy-making. Each week, students will read the work of a featured scholar who will visit the class as a guest lecture, giving students the unique opportunity to directly engage with the scholar. In addition, policy makers, community groups, and activists dealing with migration will visit the class for guest lectures, and students will have the opportunity to learn exactly how, when, and why research is (and is not) applied on the ground. To highlight the global nature of the theme, the course will highlight issues of immigration and emigration, receiving and sending countries, in the global North and South. This course is offered in Washington DC and is available to students accepted to the Spring 2025 Hopkins Semester DC only.

Kuo, Huei-Ying
Gilman 400
Spring 2025
This seminar examines inter-regional connections and diplomacy in maritime Asia (focusing on the region around the Straits of Malacca, the South and East China Seas, and the Taiwan Straits). In addition to a survey of the application of world-system theories on Asia, the reading materials include the roles of trading diasporas in world history, the maritime silk Road, the Chinese tribute trade system, the British free-trade imperialism, American open-door policy, Japanese pan-Asianism, Cold-war diplomacy, and the Beijing-centric belt-and-road initiatives. The goal is to explore the prospects and limitations of examining inter-Asian connections beyond political states.

Qualitative Interview Methods
MW 10:30AM - 11:45AM
Binder, Amy Jill
3505 N. Charles 102
Fall 2025
This is a hands-on interview methods class. As a class, we will select a topic of interest and a reading list related to that subject. The topic may be related to politics, social movements, and/or education. After learning interview techniques and IRB protocols, students will conduct semi-structured, 60-minute interviews with at least five respondents on the topic. We will read extensive background literature together, and then develop several over-arching research questions. We will design the semi-structured interview guide together, and every student will use the same guide. Next we will turn to data analysis. Students will learn how to use Dedoose, or a similar qualitative data analysis software program, to code the approximately 75 interviews conducted by the class. Each student will be responsible for reading through all data and code their own transcripts, using a code book the class develops together. The final assignment will be to write a journal-length paper on a subject of their choice, using whichever coded excerpts they wish to, but drawing on no fewer than 10-15 total transcripts.

After learning interview techniques and IRB protocols, students will conduct semi-structured, 60-minute interviews with at least five respondents on the topic. We will read extensive background literature together, and then develop several over-arching research questions. We will design the semi-structured interview guide together, and every student will use the same guide. Next we will turn to data analysis. Students will learn how to use Dedoose, or a similar qualitative data analysis software program, to code the approximately 75 interviews conducted by the class. Each student will be responsible for reading through all data and code their own transcripts, using a code book the class develops together. The final assignment will be to write a journal-length paper on a subject of their choice, using whichever coded excerpts they wish to, but drawing on no fewer than 10-15 total transcripts.

Bloomberg 276
Fall 2025
This course offers a critical survey of the historical and theoretical relationship between capitalism and slavery. We will read foundational texts by Max Weber, Karl Marx, W.E.B. Du Bois, Loïc Wacquant, Michael Walzer, Ellen Meiksins Wood, Fernand Braudel, Immanuel Wallerstein, Walter Johnson, Jonathan Levy, Edward Baptist, and Sven Beckert to explore how the origins, development, and crises of capitalism can be understood in relation to racialization. While this course primarily focuses on the history of capitalism and race in the United States, it will also engage with global history and theory of capitalism.

Cults, communes, and conspiracies are unusual social and ideological organizations. How should we understand their origins, structure, and functioning? In our First-Year Seminar, we will assess the value of alternative explanatory concepts from the social sciences, such as charismatic leadership, organizational ecology, network structure, status competition, social influence, and belief propagation. We will then interpret cases in comparative perspective, asking, for example, how cults differ from religious sects, how communes differ from political movements, and how organized crime groups differ from legal businesses.

The well-known saying, “It is not what you know, but who you know,” captures the importance of social networks in our everyday lives. However, social networks shape not only individuals but also society at large. From protests to epidemics, market performance of innovations to culture wars, and election results to dating and marriage, this course will explore how social networks shape society through their impacts on individuals, institutions, and structures. We will start by learning key network concepts, measures, processes, and analyses. We will then move on to thematic explorations of how social networks emerge, evolve, and influence various individual and social outcomes. Finally, we will conclude by applying social networks as a theoretical lens for understanding society.

Race has been and continues to be centrally important to American political life and development. In this course, we will engage with the major debates around racial politics in the United States, with a substantial focus on how policies and practices of citizenship, immigration law, social provision, and criminal justice policy shaped and continue to shape racial formation, group-based identities, and group position; debates around the content and meaning of political representation and the responsiveness of the political system to American minority groups; debates about how racial prejudice has shifted and its importance in understanding American political behavior; the prospects for contestation or coalitions among groups; the “struggle with difference” within groups as they deal with the interplay of race and class, citizenship status, and issues that disproportionately affect a subset of their members; and debates about how new groups and issues are reshaping the meaning and practice of race in the United States.

Focusing on the race-makings of the Asians across the Pacific in the long twentieth century, the course employs the reading materials that elucidate the constructions about the demographic categories of the Asian "races." We use prewar Japanese materials and Chinese nationalist thoughts to elaborate on the following themes: the internal distinction among the peoples grouped under the racial category of the Asians; the overall presentation about the generic category of the "Asian" peoplehood, as well as their alleged shared civilization and interests. The theoretical framework include concepts of capitalist reconfiguration of social boundaries through racism and the question of power behind the reproduction of racial hierarchy.

In this class, we will examine changes in family/household behaviors and relationships from a demographic perspective. We will investigate how culture, economics, and population characteristics can shape family structures, how the role of families has changed in recent decades, and how families are important in people’s lives. We will study diverse familial forms in the U.S. as well as those in the international context. We will study important (and measurable) events in people’s family lives, such as cohabitation, marriage, divorce, and childbearing. We will study how family roles are changing for fathers, mothers, and grandparents. We will also learn about the health implications of various familial relationships. We will use demographic tools and data to compare families across time periods, across social groups, and (to some extent) across countries. You will be doing your own quantitative analyses. You will develop your skills at interpreting and critiquing demographic data that researchers use to support their arguments about the family. You will also develop your skills at making your own accurate and compelling arguments using demographic data.

Fall 2025
What is a refugee? Since World War II, states that have pledged to offer protection to refugees have frequently been drawn instead to the dictates of nationalism and communitarianism, which prioritize concern for their own citizens, rather than to the needs of forced migrants. As a result, even those migrants that have been formally recognized as refugees according to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention have not been assured of protection, and other migrants have been even less assured. In this course, we will locate the reasons for this reality in the legal, political, and historical underpinnings of political asylum. What is the difference between an asylum seeker and a refugee? How has the refugee category been redefined and contested by international bodies since 1951? How are the ambiguities of real-life violence and persecution simplified in asylum adjudication interviews that require clear, factual narratives? What kinds of protections are offered to asylum seekers, whether by UN bodies, NGOs, or host governments, and how have such protections varied geographically and historically? Finally, what protections, if any, are afforded to those migrants who are fleeing not persecution but rather “merely” endemic poverty or climate-induced displacement? The course draws on literature from sociology, history, anthropology, and international refugee law in order to understand the capacity (or lack thereof) of human rights discourses and declarations to contravene state sovereignty in the name of protecting the rightless.

Global Health and Human Rights
TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM
Naveh Benjamin, Ilil
Gilman 186
Fall 2025
Is access to healthcare a fundamental human right? If so, then which global actors are obligated to provide healthcare to whom, and for how long? How do meanings of health and illness vary across time and place? And finally, how are human rights principles translated into frontline practice in order to promote well-being? This course takes a critical interdisciplinary approach to these questions through a series of global case studies ranging from humanitarian aid in post-tsunami Sri Lanka to anti-FGM (female genital mutilation) campaigns in Ghana. How do international NGOs, UN bodies, and governments collaborate (or compete) to distribute healthcare in places beset by dire resource shortages? Do human rights principles carry legal weight across borders, and if so, could access to healthcare services and essential medicines be litigated in order to compel governments to provide it? And finally, what cultural assumptions do human rights discourses carry with them, and what happens if rights-based approaches are poorly received by recipient populations? Moving beyond the basic principle of healthcare as a human right, this course aims to bring this idea’s history and politics into focus by offering an in-depth exploration of its ethics and implementation.

Global Social Democracy

Prasad, Monica
Mergenthaler 526
Fall 2025
Can social democracy offer an alternative to neoliberal capitalism? This course begins with an investigation of the history of social democracy in Europe, from origins to crisis to reconstruction, and then globalizes this in three ways: first, by asking how colonial relations affected social democracy in Europe; second, by examining welfare states in Asia, Latin America, and Africa; and third, by considering the possibilities of global redistribution.

Sociology of Gender
M 1:30PM - 4:00PM
Pugh, Allison
Mergenthaler 526
Fall 2025
This course will explore the social construction and consequences of gender, covering such topics as work, care, sexuality, identity, politics and inequality. Readings will include the classics as well as newer works in the field. We will equip students with tools not just to add women and stir, but to take up the challenge of the sociology of gender and apply its deconstructive, profoundly egalitarian, critical perspectives to the practice of sociology writ large. The first half of the class addresses major theories of gender, while the second half considers particular sites or topics of particularly contemporary relevance. Throughout, in keeping with the theme of the course and of the sociology of gender generally, weak destabilize the white, middle-class, heterosexual, cis-gendered, etc. perspective with considerations of race/ethnicity, class, sexuality, trans and queer social categories. Thanks in part to the profound insights of sociologists of gender, we know that no position is without its positionality, and we will continually invoke comparative work to illuminate the way this works to constrain and shape our vision.

On 13 October 2022, a middle-aged upper-middle class Chinese man staged a public political protest on an elevated road in Beijing. Peng Lifa, or “Bridge Man,” as he has become known in allusion to Tank Man from the Tiananmen demonstrations in 1989, demanded elections and reforms. How have urban Chinese been able to be so content or even happy despite their lack of political freedom? The class readings will introduce you to different kinds of activists who have confronted the authoritarian state since the late 1990s, among them human rights lawyers, reporters, environmental activists, feminists, religious activists, and labor activists. We will ask whether freedom, an obviously Western notion, is useful as an analytical category to think about China. Does freedom translate across the West/non-West divide?

Ethnicity in China
TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM
Henning, Stefan
Mergenthaler 266
Fall 2025
Ever since the Chinese Empire fell in 1911, Chinese have tried to think of themselves as modern and to build a modern Chinese state. Among the Western concepts that Chinese appropriated to define and comprehend themselves were the notions of ethnicity, culture, nationality, and race. We will try to answer the following questions: What was the allure of arcane and elusive Western categories on culture, ethnicity, and race for Chinese scientists in the 20th century, and how did these categories come to underpin the rule of the Chinese state over its enormous population since the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949? How have the Chinese state’s policies on nationality and ethnicity shaped the minds of American China scholars as they study ethnicity and nationality in China?
