Social Theory

Teaching social theory to undergraduate students in 8 sessions is a challenge to both the students and the module leader mainly because of the vast corpus of “fundamental” theoretical works and the module leader’s academic bias that deviates him from a pure concept about what should be included, and most importantly left out from the syllabus. This module provides an introduction to some trends in social sciences by discussing fundamental theoretical and methodological concerns in an interactive form. The structure of the module is not intended to keep a strict chronological order, rather it is designed to illustrate some significant trends in the development of social sciences.
