SOCIOL 460 - Internship: Sociology in the City
6 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded or pass/fail
Course can be counted for credit once
Description:
As a capstone to the major, this course is designed for Sociology and Criminology & Criminal Justice majors to integrate academic learning and supervised work experience in communities in and around Boston. Students with internships can expect to expand their resumes, stand out in the competitive job market, and develop professional relationships with mentors, all of which students can use to launch their careers in Sociology and/or Criminology & Criminal Justice. Students will use a sociological lens to examine social inequality on the ground. Internship possibilities could include organizations that work on public health inequalities, immigrant services, domestic violence, LGBTQIA+ issues, re-entry and probation, safety and security, legal services, union organizing, and more. Through internships, students will develop skills in applying sociological perspectives and methods in a variety of community settings, engage in professional socialization, and observe the factors related to positive social change. A weekly on-campus seminar is accompanied by 10-12 hours per week in a supervised internship.
