This module looks at the way different aspects of gender, race and class interact in relation to various forms of inequality and identity. The module is divided into four parts.
The first considers the tradition of class analysis, and the problems which have confronted attempts to operationalise the concept of class; the second considers citizenship as an approach to inequality, based on the claims the individuals can make on the state; the third section looks at the way immigration has changed conceptions of social structure and the very nature of society; and the fourth considers the issue of identity as related to class, race and gender.
By the end of the term you should have a good understanding of the concepts of race class and gender, and of their interconnections in relation to different aspects of social inequality. You will have a basic grasp of some of the problems associated with class analysis; an understanding of citizenship rights in relation to inclusion and exclusion; and some acquaintance of "identity" in each of these areas.
