DESCRIPTION
The course starts by introducing the fundamental theoretical contributions developed by the founders of the discipline to understand the great societal challenges and changes introduced by the process of modernization. It then moves on to the specificity of sociological knowledge: the key role of empirical research, with the necessity to develop specific research methods, and the emergence of different research paradigms. The course then presents in detail some of the core aspects of society, from a sociological point of view that combines a review of the main theoretical approaches along with the presentation of key empirical findings from contemporary research.
