About English and Sociology, BA - at Queen's University Belfast

Students undertaking English and Sociology at Queen's explore literatures in English in the widest possible sense. From the earliest writings in Anglo-Saxon to contemporary Irish, British, and 'global' literatures, students study English in its historical, linguistic, cultural, material and ideological circumstances. Sociology complements the study of English in unique ways: in assessing the development and organisation of societies and social institutions, beliefs and traditions, and cultural practices, Sociology illuminates, and is illuminated by the intellectual interests of English. It equips students with the skills to understand the breadth of social practice, ranging from the global (including power and politics, conflict and peace processes, security, the digital world, climate change, racism and social justice) to individual experiences (such as the body, intimacy, emotions, identity, beliefs and mental health).
