Description

Subject Area: Sociology and Anthropology

This capstone course gives students an opportunity to reflect upon key recent and classical debates in sociology and anthropology, drawing on a range of contemporary social problems as critical case studies. The course canvasses a range of perspectives and problems to show how the dynamism of these disciplines is created through a diversity of approaches. Topics to be addressed may include key debates, conflicts and perspectives regarding such things as: structure and agency; identity and difference; objectivity and subjectivity; place and globalisation; and, power and marginality. The course will also integrate discussion around the range of ways of producing knowledge within these disciplines including, but not limited to, genealogy, ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory and ethnomethdology.
