"Social science helps us understand the nuances of human society to understand ourselves because the world can't be broken down in terms of just digits and chemicals."
In the second term of the 2021-2022 academic year, students in the introductory sociology course "Understanding Societies" carried out group projects: to produce presentation recordings that examine contemporary social issues by using Karl Marx's and Max Weber's theories. The purpose of these projects is to reach out to younger students (e.g., in Junior Colleges, Polytechnics, High Schools) in Singapore and beyond and show them how sociology can offer fresh perspectives on our own lives and societies -- and how they might be transformed.
