Abstract	Although the literature on social networks has made a considerable contribution to the sociological imagination in recent years, it has been largely ignored in conventional course materials. Such an omission is curious, considering social networks' intuitive imagery, broad theoretical relevance and extensive empirical application. This article offers a remedy to that oversight, describing a challenging yet accessible curriculum including readings, classroom exercises, and student-centered learning projects. (Contains 1 figure and 2 footnotes.) (As Provided).
