COURSE TITLE: ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIOLOGY
COURSE CODE: SOC-613
CREDIT HOURS: 03
COURSE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
Ecology is often described as the study of natural communities while sociology is described as
the study of human communities. Environmental sociology is the study of both together, the study of the
“community” in the broadest sense–people, water, land, plants, animals etc. Indeed, society and the physical
environment are tightly linked in various ways.
During this course, we will explore these linkages at various levels from the local to the global.
Environmental sociology raises questions that contemporary “mainstream” sociology has been very
concerned with, too, these last 30 years or so. Indeed, environmental sociology is highly emblematic for
the challenges the “modernity” project is facing. Since the modernist dichotomy between social systems
and natural systems becomes less and less tenable, new ways to account for the real and socially entangled
world have to be found.
The course is mainly oriented towards a theoretical discussion and is geared towards getting students
acquainted with different schools of thought not only in the discussion around ‘environmental sociology’
but also the discussions and cases from cognate areas of development theory, i.e. rural and urban
development (including sustainable development), Sociological theory, modernity etc. The concepts,
theories and paradigms of the discipline will be mainly derived from the (Rich) North’s academic tradition.
Each time, empirical examples will be provided to support the discussion, primary by analyzing examples
from both the ‘North’ & the ‘South’

Aims and Objectives of the Field Work:
The Field Work is aimed at providing practical experience to gain professional knowledge and
develop skills and attitudes appropriate to the practice of Sociology. It is designed to give students “real
world” experience to complement and enhance their classroom studies. An academic complements the work
experience. The students of Four Years BS (Hons) in Sociology (Seventh Semester/Final year) classes will
carryout Block Field Work under the supervision of a faculty member (who is experienced/ trained in
fieldwork activity, and have enough knowledge about the tools and techniques of the fieldwork) in a any
social set up or community level.
Details/Description:
The minimum requirements for the Field Work will be 04 credit hours of Sociology field work
practice in the field for an academic year. The Block Field Work will be a minimum period of 10 days and
maximum 15 days. The student of Field Work will be assessed and graded on the following criteria by faculty
member supervising the field work:-
General capacity for understanding and translating in effective practice the concepts of ethnographic field
work and leadership ability in sociology in terms of the following qualities:
a). Degree of initiative.
b). Ability to interpret the aims of study.
c). Ability to develop co-operation among people.

COURSE TITLE: SOCIOLOGY OF PAKHTUN SOCIETY AND CULTURE
COURSE CODE: SOC-623
CREDIT HOURS: 03
COURSE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
Sociology is a study of relationship between human beings with others in a society including the
relationship with the culture. To open the ability of holistic thinking, the students of sociology have to learn
social value system of others’ society as well as their own.
The social value system of Pakhtun is chosen because Pakhtun people have proven to the world that they
could be a developed society without neglecting the value of tradition. However, in the recent past, due to
some global events, the perception of people around the world has changed and is getting more and more
biased towards Pakhtun. The true Pakhtun culture and social system and their values systems are hidden
from the world community as well as from their own fellow nationals. Therefore this course aims to
introduce and depict the accurate and real culture and society to the wider audience and students of
sociology. Moreover, the course will help students of sociology to do research on the different dimension
of traditional value systems of Pakhtun and the socio-cultural changes happening in the Pakhtun region.
Also it will help to sort out problems faced by Pakhtun in all sphere of life and will clarify the
misconceptions about them.

COURSE TITLE: RESEARCH REPORT/INTERNSHIP
COURSE CODE: SOC-624
CREDIT HOURS: 06
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH REPORT:
As part of Four Years BS (Hons) in Sociology, students are required to complete a thesis under the
supervision of a supervisor or faculty member, who has a related scholarly interest. The thesis is seen as a
capstone experience for majors in that it allows them both to explore research and analytical skills that they
have learned earlier and to develop these skills with direct application. In addition, in the process of research
and writing, the student develops new skills for the analysis that grow out of the first-hand research tasks.
Finally, the thesis process allows the department to assess how well it is doing in preparing students for
critical and creative thinking, and for professional or allied careers using their major.
The topic of thesis research is chosen in consultation between the student and the faculty. Hands-
on empirical research is encouraged, sometimes using available data sets -- including those developed
through the surveys carried out in the Research Methods course in the department -- and sometimes requiring
the full initiation and carrying out of data gathering in the form of a survey, participant observation project,
content analysis or other research method.
Format Guidelines for Four Years BS (Hons) in Sociology research report:
Arrangement of dissertation.
Each thesis must be arranged in the following order. Italicized pages are optional.
2. Signature Page Include this page in the pretext page count, but do not place a page number on it.
3. Title Page Include this page in the pretext page count, but do not place a page number on it.
4. Dedication and/or Epigraph. Include this page in the pretext page count, but do not place a page number
on it.
5. Acknowledgements and/or Preface. Begin placing pretext lowercase Roman numerals at the bottom of
this page, counting all preceding pretext material except for the fly page. Page numbers are centered one
inch from the bottom of the page.
6. Abstract Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman numerals.
7. Table of Contents. Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman numerals.
8. List of Tables. Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman numerals.
9. List of Figures. Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman numerals.
10. List of Illustrations/Maps/Slides. Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman numerals.
11. Text. All pages from the first page of text through the Vita are numbered consecutively in Arabic
numerals, beginning with Arabic numeral “1” on the first page of the thesis or report text.
12. Appendix.Continue page numbering with Arabic numerals.
82
13. Glossary.May, instead, be placed after the Table of Contents in the area with the Lists of Tables, List of
Figures, etc. Continue page numbering with Arabic numerals.
14. Bibliography. Other possible titles are “References” or “Works Cited.” Continue page numbering with
Arabic numerals.
PAGE FORMAT AND LAYOUT
a. Font
A single font must be used throughout the thesis, the only exceptions being in tables, graphs, and appendices.
Headings may be bolded and no more than 2 points larger than the rest of the text.
b. Margins
All theses and reports must have consistent margins of at least 1.25 inches at the top, bottom, left, and right
edges of the page. Page numbers must be placed at least one inch from the bottom of the page. Margins which
are larger than those required are acceptable, but smaller margins are not.
c. Spacing
The thesis or report must be double-spaced or 1.5-spaced. Single spacing may be used only in the Table of
Contents, footnotes and endnotes, charts, graphs, tables, quotations, captions, glossary, appendices, and
bibliography. Prose quotations over three lines long should be in block quote, double or single-spaced, and
indented on the left. Do not use quotation marks in the block quote except when indicating quotations within the
block quote.
d. Numbering of Pages
Beginning with the first page of the Acknowledgements or Preface, if used, all preliminary pages preceding
the actual text must be numbered in lowercase Roman numerals; e.g., iii, iv, v, etc. These numerals must be
centered under the text with at least one inch of space between the number and the bottom of the page. If no
optional pages are used, the page numbers must begin on the Abstract. Do not number the copyright page,
signature page, title page, or dedication, but do include each of them in the pretext page count. The first page
of the text begins at Arabic numeral 1. All pages within the text must contain an Arabic page number, bottom-
centered, at least one inch from the bottom edge of the page. The first page of every major section (chapters,
appendices, bibliography, Vita, etc.) must begin on a new page.
e. Tables and Illustrations
Pages carrying illustrative material must be given page numbers appropriate to their place in the document.
Illustrative material may not be inserted after the document has been numbered and given numbers such as
“10a.” All tables, figures, illustrations, and other types of examples included and referenced in the text of the
dissertation should be numbered for identification. There should be no duplication of these numbers; i.e., no
two tables should be assigned the same number. Figures may be numbered in one of two ways: consecutively
throughout the document (Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, etc.), or double-numbered so that illustrations’ numbers
reflect their locations in the document (Figure 9.3 is the third figure in Chapter 9, or Figure A2 is the second
figure in Appendix A.) Captions and legends must be placed on the same page with the figure, graph, table
or illustration they describe. In order to fit both figure and caption on the same page, captions may be single-
spaced, margins may be decreased to one inch, and figures may be reduced in size to fit. If the figures are
reduced from their original size, then the page number must be added after the reduction so as not to alter its
size. If there is no other way to manage the amount of material to be shown, the caption and figures should
be side-by-side in continuous view. This method should only be used in the rare instance where all of the
pertinent material will not fit on the same page. Figures, captions, and page numbers must be easily readable
when the electronic document is viewed at 100 percent.
83
Footnotes and Bibliography
A Bibliography, or Reference, section must immediately precede the Vita at the end of the thesis or report,
even in theses where chapter end notes have been used. Bibliographies may be omitted only in wholly
original theses such as novels or musical compositions. The bibliography must include materials used
including the edition, if not the first, so the citation can be readily verified. Footnote citations must be
sufficiently exact to enable the reader to find the source with ease. Any standardized form for footnotes and
bibliography approved by your supervisor is acceptable if followed consistently. Several useful manuals for
selecting a footnote/bibliography format include the Chicago Manual of Style.
Copies required:
All students who successfully accomplished writing up dissertation are required to submit at least four copies
in hard and one copy in soft to the supervisor or chairmen or head of department.
Viva voice:
For a student to be eligible for the award of BS (Hons) in sociology, it is necessary and compulsory element
and requirement for his/her dissertation assessment to appear before a panel of internal supervisor and
external examiner for a viva voice.
