Sociology

About this course

Sociology is the scientific study of society, examining how social structures, institutions and cultural forces shape the lives of individuals and groups. It is a discipline that challenges comfortable assumptions about the world, asking how inequalities are produced and reproduced, how social norms are constructed and contested, how power operates in everyday life and how societies change over time. Politics, media, inequality, race, gender, class, religion and the family are all within sociology's scope, and the discipline develops skills in critical analysis, research and the construction of evidence-based arguments that are valued across many professional contexts.
