Sorry if came through as judgy in my first comment. What territory of sociology interests you? Why do you want to learn more on the topic?
In the school where I was taught, one of the major directions was statistics. Harm reduction and drug policy also go under the umbrella. I really enjoyed the idea of mental maps, but that might’ve been the cultural anthropology class (which kinda bleeds over into the subject).
Sorry, not really. I could only point you towards my wayward comment mentioning Weber and Dürkheim.
Sociology really wouldn’t be a bad place to start, you can see how the words are derived from the same base. I don’t know any modern thinkers, I flunked out pretty early from that uni.
If you try the inward out method (by observing social transactions, peer pressures), you would still be well off to pick up some literature, so you can get some framing for it.

Do you have any methods on studying socialist theory?
