The primary focus of this Foundation Seminar is the analysis of diverse forms of social interactions, as well as the numerous strategies for the construction of sociability.  The material in this course first offers a review of commonly accepted forms of socializations, and then will ask students to consider non-traditional social arrangements as a space for relational innovation and renegotiation of social interactions.  To this end, the material in this course examines a number of formats for social organization from solitary to highly populated settings.  The various models under study range from the monastery, the factory, the prison, and of course the residential college(!).
