Event-rich and unpredictable, the years immediately after college graduation comprise multiple transitions from student to worker, from daughter to mother, from son to father, from learner to teacher, from employee to employer. For many students, the four years of residential college are a liminal time, as they move from adolescence to young adulthood. What happens over the next two decades? In this course we will read social science books and articles as well as a selection of memoirs about the transition to parenthood, the transition to marriage or partnering, labor force transitions, as well as residential transitions. We will also consider what happens when disruptions, such as prison, illness, unexpected pregnancy, or unemployment postpone or prohibit expected life transitions. The readings will be based primarily on U.S. experiences and reflect variations and differences, with respect to gender, race, ethnicity, social class. Class discussions and papers will analyze universal trends well as patterns of differences in the experience of life transitions. A writing-intensive course, the assignments will include weekly (ungraded) reflections about the readings, and four formal papers, including one based on student research.

SOC 189W PO - The Sociology of Lived ExperienceWhen Offered: Spring 2018. Instructor(s): A. Goffman Credit: 1
Much of sociology focuses on demographic trends and large-scale quantitative measures of society, like changes in the employment rate, motor vehicle accident rate, immigration rate, or unplanned pregnancy rate. But running through sociology is also an abiding interest in how people viscerally, emotionally, and physically experience the world as they live it. What is it like to lose a job, get hit by a bus, leave your home country, or have a child? For that matter, what is it like to move from high school to college, live with social anxiety disorder, be one of the only people of color in a majority white space, or realize that you like women instead of men? The experiential realm is the topic of this course. We will read in phenomenology and the sociology of emotions, ethnography and memoir, as well as in psychology, economics, philosophy, and literature. We will talk about laughter and sadness, union and marginality, triumph and defeat, jealousy and anger, windfall and loss. Running through the course are a few underlying questions: do experiences like losing a job and winning the lottery have anything in common? What are the limits of our ability to put ourselves in other people’s shoes, to understand how other people feel and think? How do people experience times of great instability and change? Are positive and negative experiences spread unevenly across the population? What are the risks and rewards of sharing our own experience or learning and writing about the lives of others? And finally, has social media fundamentally altered what it means to be in the world? Students will keep weekly experience journals and conduct four interviews over the course of the semester. In the first part of class, we discuss the assigned readings. In the second part, students read a piece of their journal or interview transcript aloud. The final paper is based on the data that each student collects. This course is good for anyone who wants to reflect on their life and learn about the lives of others. It is also good for anybody who wants to write creatively, in narrative form. There are no pre-requisites; students with no background in sociology will do just fine. Letter grade only.

Women writers, on the other hand, used popular literary forms to re-examine domestic issues and women’s place within the country’s new political reality. Prerequisite: SPAN 101 PO .
