Your main study themes are: **Understanding Society**: This module aims to provide students with an understanding of sociology as an academic discipline in the broadest sense. They will be introduced to a number of key thinkers and sociological concepts. These ideas will be used to examine key aspects of social life and contemporary societies. **Race and Racism**: The aim of this module is to examine historical and contemporary debates and issues associated with race and racism. The module also examines issues to do with immigration, political representation, legislation, the criminal justice system, employment and housing. **Gender and Society**: This module introduces students to studies of gender and society. It offers students the opportunity to explore the ways in which social structures and institutions create and reproduce gender relations and to consider this in relation to the experiences of women and men. **Tradition and Controversy in Social Theory**: Broadly, the purpose of the module is threefold. Firstly, it aims to provide the student with an appreciation of 'classical' social theory - the work of Marx, Weber and Durkheim. Secondly, it explores the development of 'modern' social theory. Thirdly, it allows students to gain some understanding of contemporary debates and controversies. **Global Inequality and Development**: The module looks at the ways in which social development has been defined and articulated by academics, planners, governments and members of society. The module aims to provide a 'hands on' approach that enables students to understand past and current forces and processes behind social change in the modern global system.
