| Course content and structure |
|
The objective of this course is to provide the student with (1)
knowledge about how the organising of different activities in both
the private and the public sector is viewed and analysed from an
economic sociology perspective, and (2) skills to analyse the
contextual factors that influence different kinds of economic
activities and rationalities, which result in differences in the
relations between social groups, companies and political
actors.
|
| Description of the teaching methods |
| Course materials include a balanced mix of theory
and case studies. Since the class takes a global perspective on
markets and money, the case studies span a wide range of
geographical and cultural conditions. Theoretically, the class
draws on a broad range of social sciences, and especially
sociology, economics and political science. The course readings
will expose students to a variety of research methods. This will
contribute to the larger aims of the BSc programme, by
familiarising students with the strengths and weakeness of various
disciplinary perspectives and analytical strategies. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
| Students will receive feedback during class and
in the office hours. |
