Key Thinkers and Big Ideas: Foundations in Social Theory
The module introduces you to key thinkers and their contributions to social theory, their ideas about the social world and the way it works. These ideas provide the building blocks for your degree whether you are studying sociology or criminology. Different theories are introduced in their historical context highlighting the particular issues their proponents initially sought to grapple with and explain at the time they were writing. We consider the broad questions these theories address and highlight the relevance of these ideas to the world we inhabit today -

Key Topics in Social Science: Measurement and Data
This module introduces key sources of social science data (both UK and non-UK), and the measurement of key concepts using these data, within a range of substantive areas. In doing so it focuses on the analysis of a number of fundamental social issues – including (for example) poverty and inequality, social mobility, and educational attainment and achievement. The module links the conceptual and practical: it touches on debates about how these issues should be understood, and examines how these issues are operationalised and measured in practice using quantitative measures. It also introduces students to the use of the STATA statistical software package. -

Knowledge Exchange in Education
This module focuses on the knowledge exchange activities that take place between universities and educational institutions (school networks, schools, colleges). The module explores the different forms that knowledge exchange activities can take as well as their purpose and utility to different education stakeholder groups. You will be taught how to conduct a rapid evidence review and you will engage in group work to carry one of these out in response to the real-life needs of local education stakeholder groups in and around the City of Southampton. Depending on capacity, there is the intent to provide an opportunity to students to follow-up on this review with a presentation of its findings with local educational stakeholder groups external to the university. -

Knowledge Graphs for AI Systems
The last decade and a half have seen the Web move away from a purely document-centric information system to one in which hypertext techniques are applied to the sort of data found in databases; the term “Semantic Web” is used to refer to this Web of linked data. Semantic Web technologies enable people to create data stores on the Web, build vocabularies, write rules for handling data, and develop systems that can support trusted interactions over the network. This module looks at the development of the Semantic Web, at the technologies underlying it, and at the way in which those technologies are applied. -
