This module is a continuation of the core course taken in the first year. All students are expected to follow it.
This module is divided into two main sections. First, in the Autumn term, the three of the key 'founding figures' of the discipline of sociology: Marx, Weber and Durkheim. Second, in the Spring term, an introduction to some of the main thinkers in twentieth century social theory.
The aim of the module is to encourage you to engage in theoretical thinking, writing and discussion, not just report on the ideas of the theorists. We will do this through reading the theorists' original writing and engaging with key concepts and themes.
What is expected:
* That you attend the weekly lectures which provide an overview and introduction to the ideas.
* That you read from the assigned books, course reader, the textual extracts, and the suggestions for further reading. You may want to meet with other students to discuss what you have read or to read together.
* That you attend the weekly classes where we attempt to clarify and discuss the material. This involves you asking questions (arising from the lectures or your own reading), working together and sharing problems and ideas.
What is not expected:
* That you will instantly understand what you read or discuss.
* That you will always work alone. The classes offer one important source of support. Don't hesitate to ask for further help from your class teacher, the relevant lecturer, the module co-ordinator, or the student support officer (Rowena Macaulay). In many ways, the best source of help is fellow students, and Rowena can help you set up reading groups or other kinds of self-help.

be necessary to make changes, for example to programmes, modules, facilities or fees. Examples of such reasons might include a change of law or regulatory requirements,
industrial action, lack of demand, departure of key personnel, change in government policy, or withdrawal/reduction of funding. Changes to modules may for example consist
of variations to the content and method of delivery or assessment of modules and other services, to discontinue modules and other services and to merge or combine modules.
