Minor Maatschappelijke orde en sociaal welzijn
ECTS: two modules of 15 each
Code: MISO
Objective
The objective of this minor is to familiarize students with the field of Sociology.
Content for 15 credits, minor package 1, semester 1a
Students acquire knowledge of modern sociology, the social problems in which sociologists are interested and how sociologists in Groningen investigate these problems (the courses Introduction to Sociology and Primary Social Order). In doing so, these courses provide insight into how primary social relations and the rules and norms governing these relations determine human behaviour. They also involve questions about how such rules and norms change (Social and institutional change - English).
Content for 15 credits, minor package 2, semester 1b
In this part, students consider how sociological research itself has changed over time (by reading classic sociological texts in the course of the same name). Furthermore, we examine how the rules and norms governing primary social relationships can clash with rules and norms in organizations (Organization and Society - English) and in the marketplace (Social Welfare) and what the consequences of such clashes are.
