Browse Hierarchy SOSC102: Doing Sociology

SOSC 102 introduces students to sociology in action. Lectures cover a number of broad issues treated by the discipline: theorising, collecting and analysing data, ethics, structures and institutions, social divisions, everyday life, and social change. Topics include power and resistance, colonisation and decolonisation, gender and sexuality, inequality, and emotion. The focus throughout is on the practice of sociology, and students will be introduced to these issues through engagement with substantive sociological work.
