SRAP3000 - Policy and Social Theory
2 Found helpful • 6 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year: Pre-2021
This essay is intended to get students to reflect on their own experiences with social theory and social policy. Select a specific state policy that has had direct impact on you as a student and as a citizen. This may involve state policy towards tertiary education, welfare, employment, recreation and sport, immigration, and even defense. Locate the policy in a specific historic and political context, and analyze it using social theories and concepts introduced in the first four weeks of class (globalization, Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Frankfurt School). You are also encouraged to draw from other recommended readings for this unit to frame and analyze your narrative. (minimum of 6 references) Your analysis should foreground 4-5 key theoretical concepts and relate these to a specific historical and institutional context. The institutional context here also relates to how public policy (role of the state) is maintained and contested by different political and normative concerns reasoned through social theory as well as social movements and popular protests in civil society. A broad tentative title: Theory matters : private concerns and public policy.
