This guide provides course-specific resources for SO320: Political Sociology and the History of Now research paper.
The History of Now paper asks you to use sociological theories of power and politics to examine historical processes with an eye towards what they mean for issues today. Applying what you have learned in the course about historical and archival research, you will plan and carry out a small-scale original research study using primary sources and consider how your findings can improve our understanding of a current political issue.
