Following on from the first year unit Social Identities and Divisions, this unit will provide more detailed knowledge on aspects of inequality and the interrelationships between them through detailed examination of current sociological literature. In order to explore how various inequalities manifest themselves, change and interrelate in different societal contexts, specific empirical topics will be addressed (for example: employment, education, health, the criminal justice system).
