Syllabus |
|
The module begins by contextualising “emotions” and why it matters that we study it. The module situates the study of emotions in the current socio-political context and analysis the inequalities related to it such as sexism, racism, and ageism. Lectures 5-11: Relation to other modules While the module introduces a range of new topics (as above), it has been developed with other core and optional modules across the curriculum in mind. It builds theoretical capacities learning in SOCI101 (Sociological Theory) and works alongside SOCI242 (Thinking Sociologically) for relevant students. It also builds on conceptual learning in SOCI102, SOCI103 (Social Change and Social Policy 1&2 e.g. g social class, ‘race’ and gender), SOCI218(Sexualities in Society), SOCI108 (Controlling Crime). Placing this module in second year means it can also act as a foundational course to a number of third year options through a number of introductory theoretical lenses e.g. SOCI307 (Health, Lifecourse and society), SOCI346 (Race, Community Identity). SOCI349 (Crime, Justice and the Sex Industry), SOCI315 (Gender, the body and identity), and Dissertation. Reading lists Students will be given a range of core, key, and recommended readings available through readinglists@liverpool, and on canvas. They will also have access to weekly suggested and extra r eading lists available in the module handbook. Seminars will also be focused on a range of readings, topics, and ‘objects’. All of which will be provided and have clear instructions attached to them |
