Dette emnet tar utgangspunkt i sosiale teorier som utfordrer de umiddelbare og gjengse måtene å forstå menneskers handlinger og sosiale situasjoner på. Emnet fokuserer spesielt på "personen i situasjonen", som er en sentral definisjon i sosialt arbeids teori. Hva innebærer denne komplekse setningen? Hvor fri vilje har en person? Hvor mye betyr den strukturelle konteksten? Hva ligger i begrepet "sosial"? Emnet reflekterer over disse spørsmålene ved hjelp av mange ulike samfunnsfaglige teorier. Studentene skal i løpet av emnet tilegne seg kunnskap om og forståelse av ulike bidrag fra klassisk og moderne samfunnsvitenskapelig teori som har særlig relevans for de ulike studieretningene i masterprogrammet i sosialfag.
