Summary
In an increasingly complex global world, understanding social change and your part in this is of vital importance. With this in mind, Sociology provides you with knowledge that is academically sound, socially useful and vocationally relevant. Central to how we practice Sociology at Murdoch is our interest in developing pioneering ways of understanding the dynamic relationship between individuals and the global societies they are part of.
On top of exploring the patterns, ideas and findings of Sociology in various texts you will be encouraged to think as an active sociologist. Sociology helps us to grasp the connections between the personal and the social in a global context. It helps us understand how changes in the structure of society, the material world (eg. technology), the economy, cultural systems of beliefs and values, and access to power, influence us as members of society.
Sociology is particularly interested in class, gender, ethnicity, and religion. Sociological knowledge and skills are increasingly important in a wide range of professions and occupations, and provide a broader perspective for understanding the world.
