Inequalities in Education
Facilitators: Kathryn Telling, Sara Bragg and Nadia Edmond
4-week module on Saturday mornings, 10.30-1pm, 18th, 25th January and 1st, 8th February
This module examines the role of education and schooling in social inequality and introduces students to critical sociological perspectives in order to explore and question the processes and outcomes of learning in different contexts, from primary school to university. We will analyse how education contexts might both perpetuate and / or challenge social inequalities. Different theoretical perspectives will be integrated in a critical analysis of an education context or issue.
