Sociology A Level/6th form colleges

[Iknownothing]

We’re doing the rounds of post gcse/6th form college open evenings. DD is very keen to do sociology and politics. Both subjects cover feminism and I am interested to know what kind of feminism is taught (can’t believe I actually have to query that).
How can I carefully/tactfully ask without totally embarrassing DD who errs on the side of GC but is very ‘be kind’. One place was singing the praises of their feminist society and I opened my mouth and DD gave me such a look I shut it again.
BTW It is completely up to DD where and what she studies - I wouldn’t stop her doing anything but I am personally intrigued.

My son is in year 13 doing both of those subjects. The text book they are using for sociology has a section on feminism. It feels quite outdated in that there are references to studies from years ago. I don’t think there’s much if any reference to trans issues. There’s reference to Judith Butler and intersectionality which I think is a good thing to learn about as it explains a bit about the rise of identity politics. I haven’t read it all but looked through the feminism section and didn’t see anything that made my GC hackles rise too much. DS really enjoys sociology - and politics. Again, with politics he hasn’t really looked at trans issues in the feminism topic. He’s doing AQA sociology and Edexcel politics.

I'm doing 2nd year sociology and politics - very thin on feminism.

It'll be taught to pass whichever exam board the college chooses. (Taught a different way they wouldn't pass )
Look at the syllabus of each colleges chosen course

You can start by teaching her not to be ashamed of feminism.
