SOC 200 - Leading for the Common Good

Credits: 2

This course explores the rise, reign, and fall of leaders in human societies (the powerful, the influential, the celebrated, the stars) with emphasis on the contemporary United States. The focus is comparative, using sociological analysis but also drawing from contributions from other fields. The course explores leaders in various fields and reflects on the topic of leadership from the perspective of Christian theology as we seek to advance the common good. Every three years.
