About this program
You ask questions. About inequality, identity, climate, technology, and power. You're curious and engaged, but at times you may feel lost in the chaos of all the information and opinions. Sociology helps you make sense of that chaos, uncover patterns, understand systems of power, and recognise where there’s room for change. It doesn’t just teach you what’s happening in society. It shows you how you can make a difference.
