I am responsible for the following courses
Basic level
Introduction to sociology - thinking sociologically, 2.5 credits
The course introduces the subject of sociology as a scientific subject and how sociological questions are formulated and answered.
Power and social stratification, 7.5 credits
The course exemplifies sociology as a scientific subject with a study of power and social stratification. Social stratification and power have been a central research field in sociology ever since the subject was established as an academic discipline. The course introduces basic sociological theory and empirical evidence regarding power and social stratification. Special attention is given to the importance of class, gender and ethnicity for life chances and distribution of power resources.
Advanced level
Social networks 7.5 credits
By using a network perspective, the focus of social analysis shifts from the social actors themselves to the relationships that connect them. The course provides an introduction to modern network analysis and includes an overview of theoretical and methodological literature in this area as well as computer-based exercises.
Models of social stability and social change 7.5 credits
This course provides a critical in-depth overview of how mathematical models and simulation models can be used to model and analyze social change and social stability.
