Notes

【Course Objectives】

This course is an introduction to political sociology which aims to create the conditions for students to feel at ease with worldwide political phenomena in their future academic and professional activities. To do so, it will be based on four objectives:
1) acquiring the basic knowledge in political sociology (theories, concepts, and authors), so as to be capable of understanding and analyzing political situations and evolutions;
2) being confronted with the diversity of international political events, from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, so as to acquire global competence and comparative analytical skills;
3) acquiring or improving academic skills and critical thinking, beyond the field of political sociology;
4) practicing English through collective and issue-centered discussion. It will be assumed that the classroom is a safe space where everybody can share their opinions freely on the debated topics.

【Course Contents】

Course content will be focusing on two interconnected elements. First, each session will be dedicated to a theme that revolves around essential and international issues related to political sociology (22 topics in total). Students will be required to learn about the main concepts and theories, through documents provided by the teacher and additional readings. Second, each session will be focusing on practicing critical thinking: greater importance will be given to oral presentation and collective discussion on critical issues. For example, students will be asked to propose personal analyses to the class, based on both class content and knowledge taken outside of class, so as to help everyone feel at ease with the inherent complexity of international issues. A presentation schedule will be determined at the beginning of the semester, to make sure which contributions will be expected from everyone.
