Faculty of Social Sciences
How are social relations structured and contested in various societies and what kind of hierarchies and subjectivities do they produce? This course reviews the various sociological theories that allow us to understand issues of power, inequality and resistance at several levels of analysis: at the level of daily individual interactions, of groups and collective mobilizations, as well as of global processes in relations to local experiences. Themes for discussion may include the dynamics, normativities and agentivities of class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and race. The relationships between these theories, including the tensions, conflicts and exclusions they generate.
