| Title | Contemporary Sociological Theory |
| Description | This course is an introduction to modern sociological theory from mid-twentieth century onwards. It will begin with notions of philosophy of science concerning the nature of concepts and theory and continue with selective review of major currents of contemporary social thought. Throughout, the emphasis will be on those ideas that can guide fruitful empirical research rather than on abstract perspectives. |
