Course summary
Politics is inextricable from human society and our teaching reflects this. Our interdisciplinary approach goes beyond the academic divisions between sociology and social theory, and political theory and political philosophy.
Areas of Study
You can work on a wide range of research projects, including:
- various European traditions of social theory, political sociology, and Marxist and Frankfurt School critical theory
- Anglo-American political theory, constructivist theory from Kant to Rawls, and communitarian or neo-Aristotelian theory
- figures of social and political thought, from Aristotle to Habermas
- issues in postcolonialism, feminism and race critical theory.
For a PhD, your research work makes a substantial original contribution to knowledge or understanding in your chosen field.
