Termine:

Mo, 16:00 - 18:00, FMA/00.08

Inhalt:

The purpose of the course is introduce students to classical topics in sociology of education, such as the function and role of schooling in modern societies, the social structure and internal dynamics of educational systems, and, perhaps most importantly, the role of education in shaping and maintaining social inequalities. However, in order to somewhat focus our immersion into this vast area of studies particular emphasis will be given to the issues of gender inequality, as well as inequalities associated with socioeconomic background. As the title suggests, we will approach these topics from sociological perspective by discussing relevant sociological theories and critically evaluating existing empirical evidence. The course will run as a series of meetings initiated by short lectures followed by in-group discussion of relevant reading material.

Inhalt:

In this class, we will try to take stock of how humanity theorized social inequality in the course of its known intellectual history ranging from the age of Classical Antiquity to Post-Modernity and beyond. Specifically, we will explore and critically engage with previous debates about the social structure of human societies, the roots and causes of social inequality, the role of structure and agency in shaping people's life chances, the nature of social mobility, as well as the utility of class, status and power as organizing concepts in which we think about social inequality. Notwithstanding the explicit 'theoretical' focus of the class we will also engage with empirically-grounded research (especially when we approach the dawn of empirically-driven sociological scholarship in the Modern era). The course will run as a series of meetings initiated by short lectures followed by in-group discussion of relevant reading material.
