What is sociology? An introductory course on key concepts

The course, ' What is sociology?’, is taken from a textbook. The textbook comprehensively explores sociology, aimed at both students and educators. It explores various aspects of sociology and provides a rich understanding of social structures and institutions and their impact on human behavior and the organization of society. The course follows the same lines as my textbook (which can be found on Amazon in French and English).
The course is organized into 14 modules as follows:

1. Introduction to Sociology
2 . The Origins and Development of Sociology
3 . The History of Sociology
4 . Theoretical Perspectives in Sociology
5. Research Methods in Sociology
6 . Socialization and Identity
7. Social Structures and Institutions
8 . Social Stratification and Inequality
9 . Culture and Society
10 . Sociology of Religion
11 . Deviance and Crime
12 . Social Change and Social Movements
13 . The Future of Sociology
14 . Conclusion: A Reflective Journey Through Sociology

Every time, the teacher starts by presenting the topic. The students are required to take notes. Then, we start the questions and answers to ensure the students understand what was said. Then, we summarize, and that ends the session.

NB: There will also be a distribution of references for further reading on the subject.


Overall, the course provides a theoretical foundation for understanding key sociological concepts and their application to analyze and resolve societal complexities. It will be supplemented by practical exercises in content analysis, text intelligence, etc.

Extra information

Every student should inform the teacher of his/her level, whether they have studied sociology before, and their purposes (what they expect from the course).
