Sociology of Carework, SOCI 2995 – will be offered this spring in Hartford. We all need carework, including a variety of emotional and supportive resources, both paid and unpaid. However, for children, the elderly, disabled persons, and those with short and long-term illnesses, carework is essential. Carework takes place in a variety of contexts, from community groups to people’s homes, to facilities like daycare centers, hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers. Through this course, students will gain an understanding of the various forces that shape the social organization of carework through an examination of scholarly research, multimedia, and a recent memoir.
SOCI 3201, Methods of Social Research will be offered in Hartford and Stamford via Distance Learning. UCS majors in Storrs or Waterbury who may need a Methods course or would like to take this course should reach out to their UCS advisor for further information or possible guidance on attaining a permission number.
