Taught by the University of Amsterdam, this course is a proper grounding in classical sociological theory — the foundational thinkers and frameworks that still shape how sociologists analyze society, power, and social change today.
Who it's for
Social science students and curious generalists who want a rigorous introduction to sociology's theoretical roots, not just contemporary commentary.
What's covered
- Foundational sociological theory and its major thinkers
- Connections between sociology, political science, and economics
- Social justice, socioeconomics, and governance as analytical lenses
It's proven remarkably popular for a theory-heavy course, with over 136,000 learners enrolled — evidence that classical social theory still has a wide, engaged audience well beyond sociology majors.
