  Digital Society (20 credits)

  ×

  Digital Society

  Overview

  This module will be both theoretical and intensely practical. Tutorials, assignments and group activities are designed to help students confront digital technology and apply their skills to navigating and utilising that. Lectures are focused on using theory to critically reflect on how technological advancements fit into or alter accounts of how society is shaped the way it is.
  
  Particular emphasis is placed on enhancing students’ appreciation of the idea of data. We are all of us contributing to the growth of ‘big data’, making use of data in our everyday lives and, often, paying for services with our data. But what is ‘big data’? Through exploration of concepts such as database matching, artificial intelligence and internet of things, we will examine how technology is being used to understand humanity and debate whether this process is ‘disrupting’ or reinforcing society’s existing strata and structures.
  
  Students will be encouraged to reflect critically on their own use of information and communication technologies and how this behaviour shapes contemporary society. This will include examination of the ‘information revolution’ and its effects on communication and social relations: local and global, personal and institutional. Students will also be encouraged to examine evidence both supporting and challenging commonplace perceptions of digital media’s influence on modern life.

  Learning Outcomes

  By the end of this module you will be able to:
  • Use key concepts in the sociology of science and technology which help to understand digital technologies in a societal context;
  • Evaluate some of the sociological and criminological theories on the information revolution and digital data;
  • Understand what is meant by data, how data are proffered, gathered and combined, and how this is used to generate insight and influence;
  • Critique the role of the ‘digital consumer’ and the social power of multinational technology corporations;
  • Analyse the meaning and consequences of the so-called ‘digital divide’ in national and global contexts;
  • Assess the impact and potential development of digital citizenship;
  • Identify the development of virtual communities and their importance for socialisation in the contemporary world;
  • Use online methods and resources for research and learning

  Skills

  • Retrieve and select relevant information from print and electronic sources;
  • Identify and interpret data relating to and accruing from the use of digital media;
  • Select, utilise and interpret material to address a particular issue or problem;
  • Present information and communicate ideas in a coherent and appropriate manner and format;
  • Analyse, evaluate and interpret information in relation to digital spheres;
  • Develop and defend reasoned opinions;
  • Develop and demonstrate independent thinking;
  • Develop oral skills through participation in lectures, tutorials and group discussions;

  Have a general understanding of the cncepts, approaches and theories available within the discipine of sociology.
  Understand the effect of social norms and common sense on our perception of social life.
  Apply a sociological way of thinking on a diversity of topics.

  Comparative Politics (20 credits)

  ×

  Comparative Politics

  Overview

  The purpose of this course is to explore key themes in British and Irish Politcs in a comparative perspective. The aim is to enable students to understand current politics by comparing Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to each other and also to other developed democracies. The course opens with two lectures that lay out the ideas behind comparison as a tool of understanding. Subsequent topics include: party systems, electoral systems, government formation, inter-party competition, intra-party competition and devolution.

  Learning Outcomes

  Students should be able to identify what the fundamental differences are between Britain and Ireland in terms of how political life is organised and how citizens think and act politically. Students should also become familiar with the fundamental elements that are shared by the two islands. Students should gain an understanding of what it is about the politics of Britain and Ireland that is unique in a comparative European context. They should also gain insight into the elements of political life on these islands that is common across our European neighbours.

  Skills

  Students will be taught how to identify fundamental political factors and processes rather than the surface details of everyday political life. They will be taught to compare rather than simply describe. In class they will be taught how to discuss the politics of a country - whether that be Northern Ireland, Britain or the Republic of Ireland - in a comparative context and so speak of fundamental differences and similarities rather than a lot of country specific nuance and detail. In their assignments they will be taught how to write and argue about Britain and Ireland using comparison rather than description as their major analytic tool.

  * To understand the gendered implications of different ways of representing and responding to immigration.
  * To engage critically with key debates regarding the gendered dimensions of concepts such as nation, agency, rights and belonging.

  Skills

  By the end of this course, students will have acquired the capacity to:
  Understand and evaluate different conceptual approaches to the phenomenon of migration;
  understand discourses on migration as historically situated and embedded in nation-state politics;

  Social Identity: Differences and Inequalities (20 credits)

  Social Identity: Differences and Inequalities

  Overview

  In this module we will explore various aspects of identity, difference and social inequalities across a range of contexts. We will focus on the nature and extent of major social and cultural inequalities within society, in areas such as education, health, class, ethnicity, gender, age and social capital. The module examines how inequality not only shapes societies, but also affects our everyday lives. By considering various theoretical models of how inequality is maintained and reproduced, this module encourages students to challenge both classical theories (for example, those which see inequality as the result of class conflict) and more current arguments (for example, those which see class is of declining significance in the light of other social divisions such as gender or age), by engaging with empirical evidence.

  Learning Outcomes

  On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
  Identify and compare different theoretical models of how inequality is maintained and reproduced. Critically discuss and evaluate the evidence for these theories, in terms of both the causes and consequences of social inequality.
  Critically assess theoretical models of inequality using appropriate empirical evidence.
  Understand the importance of using empirical evidence within sociological research, specifically relating to social identities, difference and social inequalities.

  Skills

  On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
  Explore and assess empirical data, making links with sociological theories.
  Compare and critically discuss different theoretical approaches relating to social identities, difference and social inequalities.
  Demonstrate the ability to interpret quantitative data representing patterns of social inequalities.
  Use quantitative research methods to develop an understanding of the contribution of different methodological approaches to sociological research.
  Use an analytical approach when investigating social inequalities.
