Amcanion cyffredinol
Identity and Diversity is a core level two module for single and joint honours students in sociology.
It builds upon the work covered SXU 1003 ‘Understanding Society’ by examining the contribution of different sociological perspectives to understanding of the nature of social differentiation and scope of social inequalities. The module focus on processes of social change and diversity in society, and then moves to a sharper focus on key social inequalities, such as race and ethnicity, class, gender and nationality as well as their political and economic implications. The approaches of key sociological figures, such as Baumann, Becker, Berger, Foucault, Giddens, Goffman, Mead and Weber are considered in detail with specific reference to a range of identity categories and markers of social differentiation, including age, class, race and ethnicity, gender, nationality, lifestyle, consumption, culture and subculture, crime and deviance, and language use and discourse.
