Sociology

COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL THEORY

Among the Committee’s activities are sessions of the Critical Theory Reading Group that has been discussing books in theory for more than twenty-five years. Currently, more than two dozen faculty members from several departments especially in the College of Arts and Sciences participate in the Committee. Compared to similar committees at other universities, UTK’s Committee on Social Theory places a greater emphasis on the social sciences.
