Social Thought Minor

About the Minor
The Social Thought minor provides an opportunity for students to take a series of courses that focus on modern social and intellectual thought from the 17th through the 20th century. The minor builds on lower division introductory exposure to the history of modern ideas as embodied in a number of key texts by significant thinkers such as Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Smith, Rousseau, Wollstonecraft, Mill, Marx, Weber, Darwin, Nietzsche, Freud, DuBois, de Beauvoir, and others and promotes more intense and broad exposure to the great ideas and modern thinkers of the contemporary world. It culminates with enrollment in a two-term senior thesis tutorial related to a theme from previous coursework and closely supervised by a faculty mentor. The senior thesis occurs in conjunction with a weekly research colloquium where students meet with faculty members to discuss their senior thesis work or related work in the minor.
