Taster lectures

Cultivating a sociological imagination

Why is climate change a class issue? What does a cup of coffee have to do with global capitalism? And why are sociologists always complaining about how bad things are? To answer these questions, this lecture delves into the world of social theory. It will explore why and how we ‘do’ sociological theory, and (hopefully) why you should be excited by it.
