Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This module is designed to give first-year students an opportunity to learn about developments within economic sociology, with particular emphasis on the discipline's role within, and contribution to, wider economic, social and political contexts. The module first asks what economic sociology is and how it is related to the study of economic phenomena. Each session of the course is dedicated to the study of a particular research area within economic sociology, for instance, the sociology of markets, the sociology of money, fiscal sociology, the economic sociology of culture, globalization and development, and the economic sociology of the state (political economy). In addition to introducing and assessing the significance of major developments and insights gathered in economic sociology, it provides an opportunity to contextualize and reflect upon what has been learnt on other modules.
