I would like to introduce myself as the Sociology Subject Adviser  for u3a.

I have been running the Braunton Sociology group for several years now.  We established early on that we did not want to set up a group to do examinations or even a GCSE or A level Course.   I do aim it about A level but I know my students very well.     We only wanted to study the subject for interest and pleasure.

We have looked at

• Democracy
• Teaching in the 21^st century
• Theoretical approaches to the family
• Freedom of speech
• Has social media influenced the balance of power
• What is artificial intelligence
• Modern day slavery

In general our meetings include a Power Point and lots of discussion.  Occasionally I ask them to read something beforehand. Sometimes this discussion is quite topical – are strikes morally right or will artificial intelligence change society?

I am willing to give anyone who asks access to my Power Points.  I have many but some of the topics are

• Democracy
• Teaching in the 21^st century
• Theoretical approaches to the family
• Freedom of speech
• Has social media influenced the balance of power
• What is artificial intelligence
• Modern day slavery

There are many more just ask!!
