Sociology homework help

VThroughout the semester, we will be exploring the many ways sociologists understand
religion in the U.S. You will also be exposed to many examples of theoretical concepts and
methodological approaches these scholars utilize to conduct their research. Drawing on all of

based on this research.
At various times during the semester, you will be assigned different portions of your project
(e.g., an introduction or a bibliography). Additionally, some of those individual components will
be peer-reviewed. Please note that I am happy to review drafts and/or meet to discuss any
issues related to this project.

approaches must be approved by me in advance.
