MSc Social and Cultural Theory in Bristol United Kingdom | University of Bristol

This program offers an overview of key discussions emerging from sociology's 'cultural turn,' where culture has become a central explanatory framework. Sociologists increasingly examine cultural concepts to understand and challenge modern social structures.
The MSc in Social and Cultural Theory examines both theoretical and practical aspects of this shift. It delves into influential social and cultural theorists while assessing how cultural perspectives shape studies of race, class, gender, sexuality, and religion.
These topics are analyzed through the lens of broader critiques in social and cultural theory, addressing movements like postmodernism, postfeminism, and postcolonialism.
