Socialization and the Life Course

This course draws on the psychological, sociological and biological theories and evidence to develop a clear understanding of how social institutions and elements of the social environment – especially race, ethnicity, gender and social relationships – influence development and social inclusion and exclusion. This course pays special attention to the nature/nurture debate, families and schools as agents of socialization, and death as a life-course stage.
