The Sociology of Employment course aims to train students in the sociological analysis of forms of employment and employment statutes
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of the course, students will be able to :
- Identify the controversies in the literature
- Understand the concepts, methodological principles and the many facets of research.
- Apply these concepts and principles to the analysis of empirical cases
- Establish links between different theoretical, methodological and empirical elements
- Criticise or evaluate certain theoretical and/or normative positions
- Produce a tightly worked argument on a theoretical question
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
It is highly recommended that students have followed an earlier course on introduction to sociology. If this is not the case, the student should attempt to catch up by reading a sociology manual, such as Orianne J.-F. (2019), Petit précis de théorie sociologique, De Boeck Supérieur, Paris/Bruxelles.
