This module will explore relationships between cultural identity, social policy and issues of equality and diversity.
You will examine key features of the theory and practice of social and educational inclusion from several perspectives, and explore issues central to inclusion, human rights, equal opportunities and social justice.
You will explore patterns of inequality in selected areas of social policy and provision with reference to the British experience and some international issues.
While the focus of the module will be on the British experience, some international issues will also be explored with the help of practitioners and your reading of literature.
You will have the opportunity to develop and share individual case studies, which will enable you to understand how policy affects the very real experience of individuals and institutions.
