Social Theory Application

10 weeks · 0 milestones

Apply a specific named social theory — Bourdieu's field theory, Goffman's dramaturgy, Foucault's discourse analysis, intersectionality framework, or equivalent — to a real contemporary social phenomenon (not a textbook example). Name the theory, cite primary or secondary theoretical sources, and demonstrate step-by-step application to the phenomenon. Proof is the written analysis plus a documented challenge from a sociologist or social theory academic who questions whether the theory is being applied correctly and whether a different framework would yield a better or different explanation. Your written response addressing both challenges is a required part of the proof.
