A-level sociology students have received some timely reminders at the University of Bedfordshire.
The University’s Bedford campus welcomed 200 young inquisitive minds for the third annual A-level Sociology Student Conference on Tuesday (30 March).
There were three lectures and a dozen interactive workshops for the students from a dozen different schools in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire.
The three lectures during the day centred on football (Ethnicity, Social Exclusion and Football Fandom), religion (Religion in Contemporary Society and the Secularisation Thesis) and female crime (Women and crime: The Concept of Double Deviancy).
Workshops on offer included defining mental illness, the consequences of organised crime, capital punishment and tackling domestic violence. The interactive workshops were mostly delivered by some of the University’s own students.
Organiser Alison Tresidder-Spivey, a part-time sociology lecturer at the University, said: “It went really well, especially the workshops where our own students took the lead. There were only positive comments from all the visiting students as well as their teachers.”
