1. INTRODUCTION 

The sociology curriculum in the Department of Sociology and 

Anthropology was last revised in 1974, following the 

separation of sociology and anthropology from political 

science. 

In the intervening thirteen years, there have been 

substantial changes In the discipline of sociology and in 

the research and teaching interests of sociologists in the 

department. As a result, the department has recently 

undertaken an extensive review of the sociology curriculum 

in order to determine ways in which our course offerings 

could be revised to reflect these changes and to enhance our 

existing teaching strengths. 

The major changes proposed are as follows: 

(a)

The elimination of eight courses. Two of these are 

theory courses, and are eliminated following the 

recommendation of the Department's External Review that our 

curriculum was too "theory-heavy". The remaining courses 

are ones that the present complement of sociology faculty is 

not interested in teaching. (It can also be noted that the 

Department "lost" two sociology courses in 1986 due to 

non-offering. Thus, in fact, there are nine courses 

eliminated from our curriculum compared with recent years). 

(b)

The introduction of five new courses. Four of these 

courses reflect new teaching strengths in the department - 

war (217), health and illness (218), tourism (316) and 

gender relations (335). Three of these courses (217, 218, 

335) have been offered under special topics rubrics in 

recent years and have proven to be successful in attracting 

students. S.A. 340 is being proposed as the core course in 

the Diploma in Social Policy Issues Program. 

(c)

The continuation of a trend to emphasize the relation- 

ship between theoretical questions and contemporary social 

issues. This represents a major change in the discipline of 

sociology as a whole (on this continent, at any rate). 

Curriculum changes in this direction have been made in 

recent years - the introduction of an applied research 

"stream" in 1983 and a tightening of methods requirements in 

1986 (that occurred in conjunction with the anthropology 

curriculum revisions). Further changes proposed at this 

time are: the introduction of a co-operative education 

program to integrate "on the job" experience with formal 

course work; and the introduction of an Extended Studies 

Diploma in Social Policy Issues (see Section 5 for further 

details.) In terms of the Diploma in Social Policy Issues, 

our search of Canadian University calendars revealed that no 

(

J

other Department of Sociology and/or Anthropology offers 

such an option; therefore, this proposed Diploma would 

represent an innovative development in our curriculum. 

(d)

The simplifying and standardizing of prerequisites for 

upper division courses (except theory and methods courses). 

The existing upper-level prerequisite structure is illogical 

and idiosyncratic. (At any event, in many cases existing 

prerequisites are waived). The proposed prerequisites are 

S.A. 150 and one second year (S) or (SA) course for all 

courses (except theory and methods courses, as noted above, 

for which a sequencing of specific courses is important). 

(e)

An increase (of three courses) in our second-year 

offerings. This change was made in order to make our 

curriculum more in line with that of other Canadian 

universities, and to attract students to our department 

(both as a way of increasing majors and of increasing 

general enrollment of non-majors). 

(f)

An increase in lower-division requirements (for majors 

and honors students) from 20 semester hours to 23 semester 

hours. This was done in order to incorporate 

Ma

th -103 3 -Si-AT 105-3 

(Introduction to Statistics for Social Research) as a 

requirement. (For Sociology majors, this basic introduction 

is necessary In order to avoid the problems that currently 

exist when they take 355; in terms of anthropology majors, 

anthropology faculty agreed that a course in basic 

"numeracy" would benefit their students).

b) Rationale: 

The issues to be covered in this course are not only real 

everyday issues in modern society, they are increasingly 

occupying a paramount position In the collective conscious- 

ness of people. Events are happening which directly or 

indirectly affect everyone and the future course of world 

history. Terrorism as a form of political activity has 

acquired an international character. In one part or the 

other of the globe, international conflict has been 

continuously manifesting in the form of localized wars 

between neighbouring countries. Civil strife within given 

countries, often taking the form of National Liberation 

Struggles, has ramifications far beyond national bound- 

aries. Most important of all is the massive build-up of 

nuclear arsenal. Could there be another World War? Can it 

be prevented? What can ordinary people do about it? 

Questions like these are being raised in all kinds of forums 

and by people in all walks of life; they are not simply a 

matter of academic curiosity. However, questions like these 

need to be systematically discussed and understood. The 

academic community has a responsibility. These issues need 

to become a necessary part of university education. 

To the extent to which collective violence, international 

conflicts, and wars are particular forms of interaction 

between identifiable social groupings - tribes, classes, 

nationalities, and nation states - they are essentially 

sociological phenomena, despite their economic and political 

dimensions.

In 84-2 the S.A. department offered

a course "Third World

War? Some issues concerning War, Peace, and Disarmament" 

using a "Special Topics" rubric, on an experimental basis. 

It was a successful experiment. Student interest and 

participation was very good. It generated interest and 

positive discussion in the university community as well as 

the community at large. Two faculty members (Sharma, Adam) 

are prepared to teach this course.

SAMPLE OUTLINE 

.

S.A. 217 CONFLICT, VIOLENCE AND WAR 

Proposed weekly topics for lectures and discussions: 

1.

Introductory: A general survey of the tension-ridden world; 

of the many organized and violent confrontations; of the 

deployment of crucial resources on worldwide militarization. 

2.

Theoretical, conceptual and methodological issues: The 

question of violence; an attempt to build a taxonomy of 

organized conflict and wars; a look at the causality of 

wars. 

3.

Inner contradictions, antagonism, balance of forces, 

ideology and social mobilization, as key sociological 

concepts to understand inter-group and international 

conflicts. 

4.

Wars through History, with particular emphasis on the two 

world wars in this century. A critical examination of the 

various social science explanations of the causes of the two 

wars, particularly a contrast between the approaches of 

psychological detesminism and the holistic, sociological 

approaches. 

.

5. The global "social system" after World War 

of "contradictions" and "balance of forces" 

new global system; the emergence of the two 

a division of the world in distinct spheres 

and the emergence of the "third world" as a 

"sub-system". 

II: the concepts 

applied to the 

super powers and 

of influence; 

distinct 

6.

Civil Wars and Wars of National Liberation: The internal 

class structures of given societies as well as external 

interference in these structures and the strife that 

follows. Concrete case studies from the contemporary world 

to be examined. 

7.

Localized Wars between neighbouring countries, as manifes- 

tations of the contradictions in the global social system: 

examples such as Iran-Iraq, India-Pakistan, Ethopia-Somali, 

Libya-Chad, etc. to be used as case studies. The role of 

traditional social, cultural, & ethnic factors to be 

reviewed. 

8.

Terrorism as a form of inter-group conflict, within given 

societies, and internationally. Social-political roots of 

terrorism, and its consequences. 

9.

The Arms Industry: War as a source of profit; an examina- 

tion of the production of armaments and their international 

trade, within the broad framework of social-structural and 

class perspective.

The Nuclear Arsenal: The size of the existing stockpile; 

an examination of the notion of "survivability" if nuclear 

weapons started hitting each other and/or targets. Review 

of literature from physical as well as social sciences. 

11.

The Third World War? Will it take place? Can it take 

place? How are the contradictions in the global social 

system contributing to the possibility of a world war? Can 

these contradictions be resolved? 

12.

Resolving inter-group and international tensions. 

Preventing tensions from exploding into overt conflicts. 

Concepts like negotiations and mediation as conflict 

resolution mechanisms. Disarmament negotiations as an 

example of the mechanisms to deal with contradictions in the 

global social system. 

13.

The Peace Movement: An examination of on-going efforts - 

locally, regionally, and internationally. Peace Movement as

for the department to make a distinctive contribution to an 

S.F.U. program of tourism studies and to further develop the 

applied focus which has been emerging in our undergraduate

(S)

a) Calendar Entry: 

A sociological study of the position of women and men in 

major social institutions in western industrial societies, 

in particular Canada. Social institutions that may be 

examined include the family, education, the economy, the 

polity, the law, and the mass media. Particular attention

PREREQUISITE: S.A. 150 AND ONE SECOND YEAR (5) OR (SA) 

course; 

W.S. 203 recommended. 

b)

Rationale: 

This course should be included in our curriculum for several 

reasons. First, the field of gender relations in sociology 

has developed rapidly during the past fifteen years and is 

relevant to a variety of traditional sociological 

questions: power, labour, stratification, violence, 

sexuality, domesticity, and so on. Second, two faculty 

members (McLaren, Gee) have interests in this topic and are 

prepared to teach this course. Third, since several 

graduate students are working in this area, we should 

recognize it formally at the undergraduate level. Fourth, 

many sociology departments in Canada offer a similar type of 

course.

COURSE CONTENT 

Gender differences and similarities have often been subjects of 

debate, humour or, moral commentary. But since the 1970's gender 

has taken central stage in public consciousness in a way that it 

has never done before. Many have been forced to consider anew 

how to interact with members of the opposite sex as well as their 

own sex, and how to interpret such phenomena as sexual

^ia

rassment, rape, pornography, maternal employment, abortion,

divorce, homosexuality, and education. In this course we will 

examine some of these issues, depending on student interests. 

More generally, we will consider major sociological questions 

concerning the relationship between such social institutions as 

the family, education, politics and the economy.

Psychology and Statistics

In almost all areas of Psychology, a certain level of statistical sophistication

is required before one can undertake independent research or evaluate the

research of others. The department offers several courses in research meth-

odology and data analysis, namely PSYC 201-3, 210-3, 301-3, 311-3,410-5,

and 411-5. Students who have a special interest in acquiring more extensive

statistical training which may facilitate their work in Psychology, also should

consider MATH 101-3, 102-3, 302-3, 304-3, and 404-3.

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers courses for stu-

dents specializing in either or both disciplines and for students in other fields

who seek a fuller understanding of the world around them. Courses are

designed to provide students with the theoretical and analytical tools to better

understand the social and cultural forces and processes that affect our lives

and the lives of people in other societies. Such understanding is an important

part of general education and should lead to more effective participation as

citizens of our society and of the world. Sociology and Anthropology, as taught

at Simon Fraser University, reflect the present tendency towards a common

theoretical base and the use of all fruitful methods of studying past and present

societies in both their differences and their similarities. Both sociologists and

anthropologists are actively involved in research and teaching on modern

industrial society, on specific areas elsewhere, and on theoretical and com-

parative questions that go beyond national boundaries.

As well as its intrinsic intellectual rewards, undergraduate training in soci-

ology and anthropology provides invaluable background for students who

intend to pursue careers in such fields as urban planning, journalism, law,

public administration, welfare-related professions, teaching, personnel man-

agement, health care fields, and international development projects.

In addition, the courses offered by the department can give students

specializing in other disciplines an appreciation of social and cultural proc-

esses that will complement their specialization. Especially appropriate for

these purposes are S.A. 100, 101, 150, 201, 263, 286, 292 and 293, which

require no prerequisites. A number of other courses dealing with critical

contemporary issues, such as S.A. 202 (Modern Industrial Society), 203

(Comparative Ethnic Relations), and 260 (Individual and Society), are open

to any students who have completed one introductory course in Sociology.

Lower division requirements are intended to provide students with a broad

introduction to both disciplines, to the critical analysis of Canadian society, to

the basic logic and methods used in social research, and to the application of

these methods to topics of special interest to the student.

Students should endeavor to complete all lower division requirements

before proceeding to upper division courses.

Lower Division Requirements

20 semester hours in lower division S.A. courses. The following required

courses must be included:

Introduction to Sociology

255 ?

•Introduction to Social Research

Arts—Soclology and Anthropology

In choosing lower division courses, the students intending to major within

the department should keep in mind the prerequisite requirements for upper

division courses. Most upper division Sociology courses require S.A. 150,202

or 250 as prerequisites. Upper division Anthropology courses specify S.A.

101 and one of S.A. 201, 263, 286 or 293 as prerequisites.

Students intending to follow the applied social research stream (see below)

should note the special lower division requirements for that program.

In our increasingly information-based society, many employers and most

graduate schools require considerable knowledge of the processes involved

in conceptualizing research problems, information gathering, analysis and

presentation. Students therefore are strongly urged to prepare themselves by

balancing theory courses with methods courses over and above the required

minimum.

COURSE SELECTION

Students are advised to consult the current Departmental Handbook

available in the S.A. general office, as there are differing emphases in

course outlines from semester to semester.

Normally, directed readings courses S.A. 496 (Directed Readings in An-

thropology), and S.A. 497 (Directed Readings in Sociology), are available

only to S.A. majors and honors students. Credit will be given for only one of

these courses.

A number of courses in other departments are relevant to certain areas of

Sociology and Anthropology. Honors and majors in Sociology and/or Anthro-

pology are urged to prepare themselves broadly by taking additional courses

in other departments, after consultation with a departmental advisor.

Many graduate schools require a reading knowledge of a language other

than English. Those who may go on for graduate studies should include an

appropriate second language in their program.

Ethnic Relations is the study of ethnically defined conflicts and problems

migration. Such conflicts arise from the ascription of demeaning character-

tics to groups of people and, more importantly, result from exclusion. The

Extended Studies Diploma Program in Ethnic Relations provides an opportu-

itty to explore the causes of unequal treatment, to compare ethnic antago-

nisms internationally and to develop strategies to improve intergroup relations

in light of this knowledge.

The diploma is intended for human services professionals (social workers,

7. NEW CALENDAR ENTRY ? 

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers 

courses designed to provide students with the theoretical 

and analytical tools to better understand the social and 

cultural. forces that affect our lives and the lives of 

people in other societies. Such understanding is an 

important part of general education and should lead to more 

effective participation in society. Both sociologists and 

anthropologists at Simon Fraser University are involved in 

research and teaching on Western industrial societies, on 

"Third World" societies, and on theoretical and comparative 

questions that go beyond national boundaries. 

The Department offers honors and major programmes in 

sociology and/or anthropology and a minor program in 

sociology or anthropology. Honors and major students may 

take options such as an applied social research "stream" and 

a co—operative education program. Joint major/honor 

programs are available with Latin American Studies and 

Canadian Studies. The Department also offers an Extended 

Studies Diploma in Social Policy Issues and administers an 

Extended Studies Diploma in Ethnic Relations. 

As well as its intrinsic intellectual rewards, undergraduate training in soci-

ology and anthropology provides invaluable background for students who

intend to pursue careers in such fields as urban planning, journalism, law,

public administration, welfare-related professions, teaching, personnel man-

agement, health care fields, and international development projects.

Courses offered by the department can provide students 

specializing in other disciplines an appreciation of social 

and cultural processes that will complement their speciali- 

zation. Especially appropriate for these purposes are S.A. 

100, 101, 150, 201, 263, 286, 292 and 293, which require no 

prerequisites. A number of other courses dealing with 

important contemporary issues, such as S.A. 202, 203, 216, 

217, 218 and 260 are open to students with one introductory 

course.
