Purpose

This course addresses key questions, theoretical approaches and readings in sociology as a core social science discipline. Sociology is a very disparate discipline but this course approaches it by focusing on key theoretical approaches and questions that cut through much of good sociological research. The focus of the course is on asking theoretical questions and thinking sociologically. The course comes in two parts: a ten week seminar series and an exam of a (longish) reading list of some key texts in sociology. The seminar and the readings are structured under five themes: core principles and sociological theory building, Social structure and agency, Social integration and social cohesion, Differentiation and inequality, and Social change and continuity. By the end of the course, the participants are expected to have developed an understanding of sociological thinking and some key sociological fields and central works therein.
