【Course Objectives】

This course aims at presenting to students the main notions that sociology has to offer, as means for critical thinking. In the end of semester, students will feel capable of understanding and using rapidly and easily a set of notions to analyze international and comparative situations related to the social construction of reality. To fulfil this simple but ambitious objective, the course will be insisting on applying those notions to a large range of cases.

【Course Contents】

Each session will be focusing on a key theme of sociology and divided into five major notions (10 themes and 50 notions in total). Students will be asked to introduce one notion to the class, propose some ways of utilization, and participate in group discussions. Through an open classroom climate and a friendly atmosphere, this course is designed to help students in desacralizing abstract theoretical knowledge together. To do so, the book entitled “Essential concepts in sociology” will serve as a common working basis.
