Course description
The aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge of the field of sociology of education, its emergence and central theories. To achieve this, both classical and contemporary texts of sociology of education are studied to discuss theories and orientations in different times and contexts. A relatively large space is dedicated to social class as central categorization over time, but also to categorizations such as gender and ethnicity / 'race'. The course consists of four parts. The first part deals with the emergence of sociology of education. The second part deals with classical texts and theories from the field. The third part deals with central concepts (class, gender, ethnicity) in sociology of education and modern theorizations and empirical studies relating to these. The fourth and final part consists of an examination in which the doctoral students analyse a part of their dissertation problem area by applying a central theory from the field of sociology of education.
