This module looks at the way different aspects of gender, race and class interact in relation to various forms of inequality and identity.
The aims of this module are:
- To consider the tradition of class analysis, and the problems which have confronted attempts to operationalise the concept of class.
- To consider citizenship as an approach to inequality, based on the claims the individuals can make on the state.
By the end of this module, students will be expected to be able to:
- To have a good understanding of the concepts of race class and gender, and of their interconnections in relation to different aspects of social inequality.
- To have a basic grasp of some of the problems associated with class analysis, and an understanding of citizenship rights in relation to inclusion and exclusion.
The module syllabus can be found in the Module Outline on Moodle.
This module will be delivered via:
- One 1-hour lecture each week.
- One 1-hour class per week.
This module does not appear to have a published bibliography for this year.
