BA Sociology and Social Anthropology at KREA University, Sri City Offline Course

Sociology and Social Anthropology offers an interdisciplinary Major grounded in two core aspects of modern social thought: understanding how social worlds are made, and imagining how they might be transformed.

The programme examines society by deconstructing it through key concepts, questions, and frameworks, offering students multiple ways of seeing, interpreting, and engaging with the social. It brings together structural and systemic analysis with attention to lived experience and everyday life. This lens allows students to examine theories, institutions, practices, and forms of agency as they intersect with political, economic, historical, technological, cultural, and environmental forces.

Exploring the relationships between land, communities, political economy, and ecology draws on insights from Human Geography and Environmental Studies. Critical Race, Caste, and Gender Studies deepen our understanding of how ethnicity, caste, gender, and national and diasporic identities are shaped and contested. Science and Technology Studies—focusing on emerging technologies, digital labour, knowledge production, cultural studies of technological and scientific communities, as well as New Media and Pop Culture Studies—examines how knowledge, research, and innovation reshape social and political life. A focus on capitalism, infrastructure studies, and development helps chart contemporary socioeconomic and ecological transformations. Urban Studies, finally, addresses the challenges and opportunities of rapid global urbanisation and its social and ecological impacts.

Together, these perspectives equip students to think critically, act ethically, and engage creatively in our rapidly changing world.
