This major examines the person in society. It concentrates on the ways in which people think, feel, behave and communicate in their individual, group, social and organisational contexts. It examines how people and their actions are informed by these contexts and investigates how people resist and transform them. In addition, it provides opportunities for students to develop a range of practical skills for their work as social scientists.
