See CRICOS-registered alternativesIn this subject we meet some of the most provocative and revolutionary thinkers who have changed the way we understand things like power, gender, class, race and capitalism. Beginning with Marx’s Communist Manifesto we work our way from the 19th century to the present day, exploring groundbreaking explanations of the modern social world such as de Beauvoir’s Second Sex and Foucault’s Discipline and Punish. Each week you’ll be introduced to some of the big debates in Sociology: Can we escape the influence of gender norms, or is sex destiny? Are we slaves to our mobile devices or has the online revolution led to more freedom? Is equality possible in a capitalist society? You are invited to join these critical conversations. This subject will make you see yourself and your place in the world differently, whilst providing insight into some of the most pressing social problems in today’s neoliberal societies, including loneliness and social isolation, lack of meaningful work, and surveillance technologies.
