Welcome to the website of the Analyse des Soci\u00e9t\u00e9s Contemporaines (ASC)\/Analysis of Contemporary Societies Major <\/strong>at Sciences Po Lille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course objective<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Analyse des Soci\u00e9t\u00e9s Contemporaines (ASC)\/Analysis of Contemporary Societies Major <\/strong>offers students tools and methods for studying the major issues and debates of the present world, at local, national, and international scales.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This multidisciplinary program draws from various social sciences (history, economics, political science, demography, sociology, and ethnology). Open to diverse methodological approaches and theoretical perspectives, it emphasizes empirical understanding of political, economic, and social phenomena, particularly by initiating practice in the social sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to train students through the acquisition of specific skills<\/strong> in social sciences and the organization of pedagogical and scientific operations<\/strong> (organization of study days, research workshops, collective surveys, writing scientific articles, creating an online magazine, etc.). Notably, a field internship <\/strong>is organized in the first semester of the fourth year : during this week-long ethnographic fieldwork, students are supervised by a team of researchers to conduct a monographic investigation on a specific site (related to employment, education, housing, lifestyle, security, religion, sports, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program aims to sharpen students’ reflexivity <\/strong>and provide a better grasp of the complexity of reality to question the links between science and action.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
