Sociology of Risk and Safety in training sociologists

The article considers the crisis of today’s education as a consequence of the systemic impact of global challenges, leading to the deformation of the classical triad - understanding, goal setting, action. The relevance of the study is determined by the combination of long-term trends (globalization, information revolution, consumerization) and new threats (hybrid wars, explosive development of AI, use of ICS) to the cognitive and value security of society, which turns education into a frontline in geopolitical confrontation. The authors conducted a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and threats for each stage of the education triad under hybrid wars and global competition, outlining the contours of a strategic response within the framework of social-humanitarian knowledge and educational policy. The theoretical-methodological basis of the article is a critical analysis of the concepts of the network society, “liquid modernity”, globalization and consumer society and a riskological approach that allows for integration of social, information and educational processes into a single subject field of security studies. The authors show that today “understanding” is blocked by information overload and fragmented worldview, “goal setting” is eroded by marketization and external value-based aggression leading to anomie, and “activity” loses its creative and collective meaning, being reduced to a formal competence or a tool for individualistic competition. Thus, we need a transition from narrowly focused prevention to a comprehensive strategy to simultaneously develop holistic worldview, value consciousness and socially significant practice, for which the authors propose a specific institutional framework - the Master’s program in Sociology of Risk and Security
