Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This seminar focuses on classical and contemporary theories of class in classical and contemporary sociological theory and cultural studies. From Marxist approaches to feminist and antiracist critiques, we will engage with class concepts and their relevance for understanding contemporary society in a global context. We will also discuss current debates including class composition and stratification; intersectionality; ecology, climate change and class. Students will be expected to read and discuss original texts in English.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Regular attendance (compulsory) and active participation (including group work) are expected. Students will be required to:
1) Give an oral presentation on one of the seminar readings [30% of final grade]
2) Submit one written reflection on one of the seminar readings [20% of final grade]
3) Submit one written essay at the end of the course [50% of the final grade]

Important Grading Information:
The provision of all partial tasks is a prerequisite for a positive assessment, if not explicitly noted otherwise.

The use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for the production of texts is only permitted if this is expressly requested by the lecturer (e.g. for individual work tasks).

In order to ensure good scientific practice, the lecturer can provide for a "grading-related discussion" (plausibility check) of the written work submitted, which must be completed successfully.

All students who received a place in the course are assessed if they have not deregistered from the course in due time or if they have not credibly shown an important reason for their failure to deregister after the cause for this reason does no longer apply
Students who credibly show an important reason (e.g. a longer illness) for the withdrawal from a course with continuous assessment are not assessed.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer. The request for deregistration must be submitted immediately.

If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as "not assessed" and recorded accordingly.
You can find these and other provisions in the study law: https://satzung.univie.ac.at/studienrecht/.

In case you have received three negative assessments of a continuously assessed course and want to register for a fourth attempt, please make sure to contact the StudiesServiceUnit Sociology. (for more information see "third attempt for continuously assessed courses" https://soziologie.univie.ac.at/info/pruefungen/#c56313)

The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading.
