- Political Sociology (SEES0117)
This module aligns Political Sociology to the social scientific study of political issues by other disciplines such as Political Psychology and Political Science, and seeks to develop a broad account of politics that can be used to understand contemporary social and political themes. The module combines the study of institutional and everyday politics, focussing on topics such as formal and informal types of political participation, political partisanship, elites and the distribution of power, the rise of populism, the politics of emotion and identity politics. Students taking this module will learn about the theoretical, methodological and empirical aspects of research in Political Sociology and related disciplines.
