Abstract

The following pieces of writing by current students have emerged from a third year module within the sociology degree provision – Contemporary Society and Social Futures. As a collection they have been so innovative, critical and engaging that we thought that they should have a wider readership than just the module tutors. So we’ve put them together into this publication which celebrates the critical observations that our students have been making! Still, whilst many papers were interesting and stimulating, we could only select some of work produced. So in what follows, we present 14 ‘Critical Reflections’ from the module. Students were asked to apply key theories and concepts covered on the module in order to develop a critical commentary on the nature of contemporary society, or particular aspects of it. The work was produced in the first semester of the 2012-13 academic year.
