CAS CC 221

  • Historical Consciousness
  • Social Inquiry II
  • Writing-Intensive Course

Undergraduate Prerequisites: First Year Writing Seminar (e.g., CASCC 101 or WR 120). - Applying careful readings of Western social, political, and economic thinkers between 1600-1900, this foundational course asks: How did "society" emerge as a distinctive object of political engineering, normative discourse, and social scientific inquiry? And what economic transformations helped shape theories of justice and social contract? This course works well as a companion to CASCC 222. Effective Fall 2020, this course fulfills a single unit in each of the following BU Hub areas: Historical Consciousness, Social Inquiry 2, Writing-Intensive Course.
