Introduction to MA Sociology for Offer Holders
When:
—
Venue:
Online
Come and join us for our MA Sociology Offer Holder afternoon.
Our MA Sociology programme is a part of the School of Social Sciences.
You will have the opportunity to chat with our staff Dr Margarita Aragon and find out more about the programme.
Dr Margarita Aragon research interests lie in the sociological theorising of racism and its imbrications with gender and disability. Her work examines the scientific and popular discourses through which racial knowledge has been produced and circulated, as well as the legal and extra-legal violence through which racialized boundaries have been enforced.
This distinctive new MA Sociology offers you the theoretical and practical tools for understanding the political, social, and ecological crises with which we are currently confronted - and for imagining how the world might be different.
Taking perspectives from the Global South as well as the UK, this Master's degree in sociology examines the transnational contemporary social relations and formations, the histories from which they emerge, and how people in particular contexts have sought to change them.
This MA Sociology degree offers you a lively programme of extracurricular workshops and activities to give you in-depth engagement with sociological theories and issues. These include talks given by a range of speakers engaged in community-based work and activism to understand how we grapple with sociological issues within particular contexts.
Birkbeck teaching takes place in the evening, leaving you free to study, volunteer or explore London during the day.
This event will be online.
