Introduction to Sociology - decoding the dynamics of social life!

From 26 £ /h

Sociology is a vast field of study. In the class introduction to sociology, I shall teach about the social forces like religion, gender, class, ethnicity and so on that shape our society and us(as individuals). It will be a very interactive class involving lots of discussions and debates about sociological paradigms and ideas.

For beginners it will introduce you to history of sociology(how did this field emerge in academia?), classical sociology theories and concepts. it will also cover important sociologists, their field of work and critiques. You might like some sociology scholars, find some of their ideas/arguments not relevant or even unacceptable, this class is the platform to learn, discuss and critique!

For intermediate learners, the class will cover more of current debates and recent research developments in sociology; traditional subjects such as class, culture, families/kinship, and religion. My favorite topic is Magic, religion and science and classes on that will be pretty interesting! We shall decode Bronislaw Malinowski's essays together!

For Advance learners, this class will be more of a support system through which they can clarify doubts and have solid discussions about about progressive areas like digital society, social media, migration, and the interconnectedness of modern global society. Lots of ethnographic case studies. if you are interested to learn about the caste system in India, do take up my class as we shall have pretty interesting conversations about it. We can also deal with questions like how to make a living out of sociology?

Extra information

Have a note and pen in hand, and make notes and arguments. You can use your laptop to gather information but do not use phones as it might be distracting (the influence of social media on an individual is a discussion we will have an advanced level)

In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students.

Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English.

My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual.

For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
