COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course ‘Danish Society - A Sociological Perspective’ will present in depth analyses of key institutions in Danish society. Selected topics such as the development of the Danish state and welfare model, the labour market, national health and care policies, gender, ethnicity, migration, climate change, nationalization and Danish identity will be analyzed in lectures and readings. The students will become acquainted with the most important institutions and political values in Danish society and they will meet some of the best scholars in these various fields.
AIMS
This course is designed to help foreign students become acquainted with sociological theories and empirical studies covering political culture and institutional - as well as alternative – forms of life in Denmark. In this respect the aim is to develop a critical understanding of the underlying values and political ideas in the Danish society, and how the society is continually re-shaping itself. More broadly, the course aims to draw the students’ attention to complexities, problems and ambiguities in the Danish society. In addition to a basic understanding of the areas of Danish society covered in the course, the students should be able to exercise sociological reflection, and demonstrate skills in formulating research questions concerning sociological issues related to the functioning of Danish Society.
LEANING OBJECTIVES:
By the end of the course students should:
• - select and formulate a research question within one of the course themes
• - structure and argue convincingly in accordance with the defined research question
• - describe historical and current traits of the chosen topic
• - include relevant literature from curriculum such as essential concepts, sociological theories and empirical documentation
• - include supplementary literature if the research question invites to further investigation
• - apply competing sociological concepts and theories if relevant to the defined research question
