Semester- V

SOC- 311 Gender Studies Gender is encountered in every aspect of our lives. It informs public debate, legislation, how much money we earn, who dies younger and our exposure to risk and sexual violence. The course examines contemporary gender relations in Pakistani society, in our everyday lives, the school, the workplace, and the home. To what extent can we explain these relations in terms of women's and men's choices and to what extent in terms of masculinities and femininities, laws and institutions, and the distribution of power and resources in Pakistani society? The ways that ethnicity, 'race' and class modify and give meaning to gender debates in an Australian and international context will also be a central concern.

SOC-312 Social Statistics-I This course is meant to equip students with basic statistical skills and help prepare them for more advanced quantitative courses, graduate studies or a future career where some knowledge of statistics is required. The course seeks, in particular, to promote statistical literacy among students so that they can critically evaluate statistical information and data-based arguments appearing in diverse media outlets. It focuses on both descriptive and inferential techniques in highlighting the usefulness of statistics in understanding social behavior. This course does not require a strong mathematical background as a prerequisite, although ability with simple algebra will be an asset. The course begins with basic descriptive statistics and then moves on to inferential statistics. The descriptive part includes techniques such as frequency distribution, measures of central tendency and dispersion, standardized scores and the normal curve. The section on inferential statistics introduces students to hypothesis testing, estimation procedures, correlation, and linear regression techniques. Although the course requires computational work, conceptual understanding of the issues will be emphasized. Contents

SOC-313 Research Methods-II The aim of the course is to provide students with the methodological skills necessary for them to carry out independent research. Throughout the year, methodological and design considerations are integrated with statistical techniques. Statistical theory is not emphasized; instead, students are trained to be consumers and users of statistics. Applied linkages are developed through the extensive use of the SPSS data analysis package. Advanced Research Methods can be divided into three components. Over the duration of the semester students will engage in topics including effect size measures and their associated confidence intervals, power analysis, clinical significance, advanced analysis of variance, regression modeling and regression diagnostics, bootstrapping, and dealing with missing data. Students are taught these techniques in the context of SPSS and other computer-based data analysis software. Qualitative methods are considered briefly. Contents

SOC-314 Introduction to Demography This course provides an introduction to demography and population studies. A quick google search will reveal many definitions of both demography and population studies as well as some disagreement about what each encompasses. Broadly speaking, however, most observers agree that demography is the study of human populations (size, spatial distribution, composition) and the processes through which populations change (fertility, mortality, migration), and population studies concern the causes and consequences of population change. In addition, demography is associated with statistical description and the mathematical techniques used to study population—an association which drives many students away from enrolling in courses like this one. As you’ll learn this semester, what demographers actually “do” extends well beyond what these definitions suggest and demographic research draws extensively from a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, economics, public health and sociology. Readings for this course are drawn from all of these disciplines and have been selected to emphasize the breadth of the field and the variety of theoretical and policy perspectives that characterize it.

Contents

1. Introduction Meaning, forms and scope, Sources of data, Census, vital events and statistics, sample surveys 2. Analytical demography Vital rates and ratios, Birth and death rates Fertility rates, Gross reproduction rate. Migration rate, Life table Meaning and forms Calculation of various functions of life table 3. Basic demographic methods Relative numbers, rate, ratio, percent, proportion, Measures of population structure, pyramid, age and sex ratio, dependency ratio, distributive measures Measures of population change: natural increase rate, standardization of rates and net reproduction rate and migration rate.

SOC-316 Cultural Anthropology This course introduces the discipline of anthropology and the work of anthropologists. It does so by focusing on a series of questions that anthropologists have developed compelling answers to like: Why do people believe different things? Why are some societies characterized by inequalities? How do people communicate who they are to others? And are people in advanced societies truly healthier and happier than those in less advanced societies? This “question-based” approach encourages students to ask these questions of their own culture and society as they think critically and actively engage with, and learn from, examples from throughout the world and throughout history. Students will leave the course with a broad understanding of how anthropologists answer such questions and with a greater awareness of the cultural and social diversity that exists in the world.

SEMESTER VI

SOC-321 Sociology of Development This course examines key ideas, theories, and actors (institutions, social movements, NGOs, governments, etc.) that have shaped mainstream and alternative development processes and practices. The course historicizes ‘development,’ looking at the ways in which its discursive and political economic aspects mutually reinforce power structures that determine which peoples do and do not count as ‘developed’ and which perspectives on change become part of development practice. The first part of the course covers the foundations of the capitalist world-system in colonial histories and the ways such history influenced the ideas and issues shaping ‘development’ in the twentieth and early twenty-first century. The second part of the course covers ideologies, institutions, and processes that led to a capitalist globalization shaped by neoliberalism. It also examines the effects of these processes on particular spheres such as gender, the food system, NGOs, and Trade/Fair Trade . The final part of the course covers in depth several key areas in which capitalist development has created a social ‘crisis’—factory labor, peasants and land issues, finance and debt, and alternative forms of state governance. These weeks allow an exploration of the multilayered theoretical and experiential aspects of development as it takes place on the ground in recent times. It closes the course with a consideration of the possible future(s) of development. Contents

SOC-323 Sociology of Change Our society seems to always be in a constant state of change, but what forces are responsible for social changes ranging from the industrial to the digital revolution? How do these changes play out on the individual and national levels? This course uses the tools of sociology to help explain how we got to where we are now and where we may be headed. The first portion of the course will explore influential types of sociological explanations of social change, including functionalist, conflict and interpretive perspectives. The second part of the course will apply these theoretical lenses to historical and contemporary instances of social change, such as the recent national legalization of same-sex marriage, and spread of information and communication technology. The third part of the course will look at processes of social change, from political reform to social revolution to technological innovation. The last unit will cover social change on a global scale in our increasingly interconnected world, looking at globalization processes, environmental change and its social implications, and diagnoses of our future.

SEMESTER VIII

SOC-421 Qualitative Research Methods In this course, students will learn to investigate the social world using a variety of qualitative approaches, such as in-depth interviewing, observation, or content analysis. Students will explore the principles underlying qualitative inquiry and acquire a general understanding of the theoretical positions that underlie qualitative methodology. Through lectures, readings, guest presentations, and hands-on research activities, students will explore different ways of investigating the social world in a scientific but non-statistical way that gives voice to the people we are studying. The ultimate goal is to let students experience the ways that qualitative sociologists do research. We will therefore emphasize applied aspects of qualitative research. Contents

SOC-422 THESIS The thesis is a key component of the BS program. During their final year of study, BS students write a thesis and present it before their peers and faculty in a department seminar. Because this degree is the prerequisite for graduate work in sociology, and because it is our highest degree, we expect the thesis to be of substance. To prepare thesis, students will work with an advisor to define an area of special investigation where you can demonstrate your ability to think sociologically. The thesis provides an opportunity for the students to explore in greater depth some aspect of sociology that particularly interests of students.

SOC-425 Rural Sociology

54

54

The Rural Sociology focuses on environmental well-being, sustainable development of natural resources, social and community quality of life, and diffusion and impacts of technologies. The course provides expertise for students to focus on agriculture and the environment or social change and development. Since Pakistan and the rest of the world lives in a largely rural environment, the issues affecting the country are therefore affecting mainly rural population. Issues affecting food security, population, poverty, social change and many others can be tackled by tacking rural problems hence it is important for the society to review the rural populace to help the rest of its population. This course is intended to better acquaint you with rural society through the study of rural sociology.
