This course will familiarise students with sociological concepts and theories
which will enable them to better understand the work cultures and work
practices associated with a range of contemporary occupations and professions.
It will focus on routine as well as unexpected conflicts that practitioners of these
occupations and professions confront. We will use these conflicts to develop an
analysis of the external and internal forces which help to shape these
practitioners work lives as well as the contributions of their occupation or
profession to society more generally.
