Non-BPS Psychology (external) Modules that could be considered for options outside of psychology Level 1 Options Module Code ANT1007 / SOC1028 Module Title Media and Society Credits 15 GEO1105 Geographies of Place, Identity and Culture 15 POL1006 State and Society 15 POL1008 Introduction to Social Data 15 SOC1039 Social Issues: Part I - Introducing Crime and Deviance 15 SOC1040 Social Issues: Part II - Themes in Criminology 15 Notes This module is intended to introduce students to the social scientific study of the media, considered in light of forms of media production, distribution and consumption. In particular, two themes are highlighted: how media have both shaped and been shaped by modern societies, and how the “power” of the media can be understood from a range of perspectives. The focus throughout the module is to reflect on key debates about how place and culture interconnect in various ways, and the ways in which these interconnections impact on everyday aspects of social identity, belonging and exclusion, taken-for-granted representations of cultural meaning, and the performances of everyday life. This module studies how politics is shaped by the broader social setting in which they unfold. In order to analyse the relationship between the state and society, we will also study the various ways in which people identify, organize and understand themselves within society more generally. Cannot be taken with PSY1205. This introductory first-year module covers key concepts in quantitative design and data collection as a basis for understanding social phenomena. It introduces you to the core statistical ideas that underlie quantitative research and the software packages which are used to produce analyses. This module offers a foundational basis to the study of social life by introducing you to the social study of crime, deviance, and the criminal justice system. This will include examining the historical patterning of crime, the 'causes' of illegal activities and social responses to such acts. This module offers an intermediate level analysis of crime and deviance by considering several core themes in criminology. It extends the analysis from SOC1039 “Social Issues: Part I”, which is a prerequisite.
