Uncertainty and Order: Sociological Perspectives

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: 2SC203

The course gives you advanced insight into classical and contemporary sociological theories that explain what shapes social action, with a particular focus on economic action. You examine how social contexts both enable and constrain action, for example by reducing uncertainty. Drawing on research in economic sociology, organisational sociology and the sociology of work, the course analyses how the design, execution and outcomes of purposeful action are shaped by institutional settings, local orders and shared meaning systems.
