Hello! My name is Russell Haggar and I have been teaching both Sociology and Government and Politics at Advanced and GCSE levels mainly at the City of Norwich School for approximately 30 years. When the site was first published in 2009 my main long term objective was to provide a fairly comprehensive set of materials for several of the modules currently offered in AS and A2 Sociology specifications. In the course of 2009-10 documents were added to the Introducing Sociology Module, the Sociology of Education Module, the Families and Households Module, the Power and Politics Module and the Differentiation and Stratification Module.
In the course of 2010-2011 more documents will be added to these Sociology modules but I have decided also to provide information on AS Government and Politics and on A2 Government and Politics focussing especially on Political Ideologies as covered in a range of A2 Government and Politics specifications.
I hope that these resources may be useful also for students following Access to Higher Education Courses and for Scottish students following Scottish Intermediate and Higher Courses and that some of the more detailed documents might possibly be helpful for beginning undergraduates.
Please Email if you have comments on the materials.
