Sociological Futures: Humanity, Earth, and Nature

📚 BA (Hons) Sociology | BA (Hons) Psychosocial Studies

What does the future hold for humans, for the planet, and for our relationship with animals and technology? This forward-thinking module explores three big themes: the future of humanity (genetic engineering, biopower, enhancement), the future of the Earth (climate change, consumerism, ecological crisis), and the future of nature (our relationships with animals, food, and the nonhuman world).
Big questions. Urgent conversations. Essential sociology for life in the Anthropocene.

Race, Society and Decolonialism

📚 BA (Hons) Sociology | BA (Hons) Psychosocial Studies

Race is a social construction, but its consequences are very real. This module examines how racial categories are created, contested, and reproduced, exploring themes including nationalism, migration, mixed-heritage identities, Romophobia, and Islamophobia.
Drawing on decolonial and postcolonial approaches, you'll question Eurocentric assumptions and consider the ongoing legacies of colonialism in contemporary society. Honest, rigorous, and urgently relevant, the conversations that matter.

Power and Pixels: Sociology of the Digital Age

📚 BA (Hons) Sociology | BA (Hons) Psychosocial Studies

Your social media feed isn't neutral. Algorithms, data, surveillance, AI, digital technologies carry enormous social consequences. In this module, you'll use sociological theory to understand how digital life shapes identity, community, politics, and power.
You'll critically analyse your own digital practices alongside the bigger picture and evaluate how emerging technologies challenge social norms and change society. Essential for understanding, and navigating, the world we actually live in.

Global South and the Sociological Imagination

📚 BA (Hons) Sociology | BA (Hons) Psychosocial Studies

Most sociology textbooks are written from a Western perspective. This module challenges that. You'll be introduced to thinkers and traditions from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Indigenous communities, perspectives that fundamentally reshape how we understand society, power, and knowledge.
Expand your sociological imagination beyond its Eurocentric limits and engage with scholarship that is vibrant, urgent, and often missing from mainstream courses. Sociology, the way it should be taught.
