About this Unit
With a focus on what it is that sociologists ‘do’ and why, this unit considers how sociology contributes to a better understanding of everyday life. That is, to the routine engagements, interactions and practices that make up our individual and social worlds. Where we live, what we consume, how we feel and the meanings we give our work, leisure, environments and relationships will all be analysed with reference to academic and popular content. Serving as an introduction to the discipline of sociology and its various sub-fields and methods, ‘Doing Sociology’ places emphasis on how sociological knowledge can be applied. In this way, the unit provides students with the opportunity to consider what they might do with sociology; how a sociological perspective might help them better understand the social world and contribute in a meaningful way to resolving contemporary social issues.
