The British Sociological Association examines the question of defining sociology by considering it in terms of three basic categories.

• What is Sociology? involves thinking about it's academic origins and history.
   
• How is sociology research conducted?
  This, as you might expect, looks at how sociological research is carried-out.
   
• What do Sociologists do? identifies examples of the variety of behaviours - both individual and institutional - sociologists are interested in studying and explaining.
