SOCIOL 261-403Introduction to Statistical Thinking in Sociology , Fall 2022 Instructor: Theresa Beaumier (beaumier@uwm.edu) From casual news watchers to businesspeople and academics, we’re all confronted with a myriad of statistics throughout our lives. We rely on statistics to learn about our world, shape our opinions, and inform our professional decisions. Sociologists use statistics to study how society works, analyzing data on a wide array of topics, such as health, gender, crime, social movements, economic inequalities, education, race, and public opinion. In this course, we will build a basic statistics toolkit, including calculating and interpreting statistics and becoming familiar with SPSS software. We will also challenge the notion of statistics as “objective,” considering the decisions that researchers make when analyzing and presenting information and discussing how to critically question the information that we hear. We will focus on examining topics that are important to sociologists and other social scientists, but the content of this class is relevant to many disciplines.
