Introducing Critical and Public Sociology
Sat, February 3, 2018, 10:30am – 1:00pm
Learning Centre at City Clean Depot, Upper Hollingdean Road, Brighton. BN1 7GA (map)
This topic will introduce sociology as a fundamentally “public”, and critical subject whose aim does not exhaust itself in studying the social world around us scientifically. Rather, its role is to also let our imaginations roam freely in order to create the very societies in which we wish to live.
The aim of this session is to introduce ways in which to think sociologically about the world(s) we inhabit, discuss alternative conceptions of familiar social phenomena, and turn the critical outlook that sociology offers against itself, to examine whether it lives up to its scientific premises, and sociopolitical promises too.
