Description

This module takes London, a global, multicultural city as our lab for exploring social science theories and methods. It engages with current social issues in the city, situating them historically and within wider national and global contexts. The module considers what a focus on a particular city, in this case London, can contribute to the social sciences, and conversely considers how social science concepts and theories can contribute to a richer understanding of cities and city life. The module is not a 鈥楲ondon studies鈥� module 鈥� although students will certainly learn more about the city they live and study in 鈥� but an introduction to theories, approaches, and methods used by social scientists, using London as exemplar site. Indicative topics include: London as a global city; exclusion and inequality; conviviality; neighbourhoods and diversity; gentrification; London as a migrant city; political protest and riots; multiculture and superdiversity.
