Omschrijving	This course introduces students to the ways that culture and society are understood and analysed in academic literature, through a diverse range of key texts from different social sciences and cultural studies, and how these inform the academic study of minorities. In each one of the seven weeks of this course we will study one key theoretical current or tradition – such as classical sociological theory, structuralism and postmodern theories – that are foundational to disciplines concerned with the study of culture and society. With a thorough overview of these theories, concepts, and ideas, the course will encourage students to critically engage with minority issues. In addition, the course places a strong emphasis on understanding how to link ideas and theories to empirical cases, inviting students to engage with them by discussing societal issues related to ethnolinguistic minorities.
