Description
Summary:In this article we are concerned specifically with preparing undergraduate sociology students to apply the insights and sensibilities acquired during their undergraduate years to the world of work. In developing our argument we first elaborate on the rationale for making applied sociology, broadly defined to include ethical practice, a part of the undergraduate curriculum. The remainder of the article describes (a) the seminar in which we confronted our undergraduates with case studies concerned with ethical issues; (b) how this seminar fits into our curriculum; and (c) an evaluation of results of our effort.
