My Areas of Interest and Module expectations


After studying Sociology for three and a half years now (two years of A-level, and currently into the second year of my degree), I have developed particular interests in a variety of area of social life. The most prominent of these interests are the studies of Religion, Media, Sexuality and other sites of Social in equality, such as Gender, Ethnicity and Class. In addition to this I also study criminology alongside sociology, as I find crime to be an extremely interesting social phenomenon.

After having a teacher at A-level who placed a great emphasis on research methods, I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge through looking at new areas within the subject and expanding my understanding topics I have previously covered. One thing that I am excited about during this module is the assessments, well as excited as one can be about such things. But the methods of examination in this module are different from anything that I have encountered so far in my degree or outside of it, and I feel that this will allow me to adapt to a new challenge instead of battling through another dull essay.
