SOC-367 Seminar: Organizations and Culture

Organizations are among the most pervasive features of modern society and culture lies at the foundation of organizational life. This course will help students acquire tools for understanding organizations. We will explore such questions as: how is culture used to organize work, exercise power, and shape individuals’ identities? How does culture facilitate or change organizational change? What is a gendered organization? We will examine both for-profit and non-profit organizations in a wide variety of fields (high-tech, health care, the service industry).
