Course Description

Sociology is about people - who they are, what they do, and how they change.  In this Level 3 course, you will engage with controversial and contested issues.  We will begin by examining a campaign in detail, learning how people worked together to bring about change and fight injustice. You will also be able to research a current social issue that you feel passionate about to become informed, and then plan, develop and carrying out your own social action. This course will help you develop your ability to construct an argument and support your position, to research and investigate, engage in meaningful social action and to identify different views, values and perspectives.
