This module looks at the way different aspects of gender, race and class interact in relation to various forms of inequality and identity. It is divided into four parts: The first considers the tradition of class analysis, and its associated problems; the second considers citizenship as an approach to inequality, based on the claims the individuals can make on the state; the third looks at the rights of non-citizens and the idea of post-national society; the fourth considers all in relation to identity.
By the end of the course 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; some acquaintance with debates about an emergent post-national society; and an appreciation of the significance of ‘identity’ in each of these areas.
