The module will particularly focus on developing students¿ understanding of interview-based and observational research.

It will include an appreciation of the theoretical underpinnings of qualitative research and associated research methods.
PPS213 Social Problems I

This module introduces students to the concept of the social problem. Building on introductory compulsory modules in sociological theory studied at level four, it draws on key theoretical perspectives within sociology to understand the variety of ways society approaches and interprets social ills. Drawing on a selection of current and historical examples of social problems, it aims to equip students to critically engage with social issues as they are articulated across a variety of public arenas from social media to public policy.
