This survey course studies administrative organizations and voluntary associations; major social institutions in industry, government, religion, and education.

This course explains why organizations are the most powerful elements of modern societies. All interests – economic, political, social, and cultural – are pursued through organizations like business firms, social movements, social media, and streaming-TV companies. This course takes students through the history of organizations to how sociologists study organizations to questioning the roles that organizations play in critical challenges like climate change, inequality, and partisan politics.
