<p>This module utilises sociological theory to critically explore and understand social inequalities, identities and difference.  It will consider how inequalities are defined and estimated, how inequalities identities, and difference are interconnected and intersect, and how inequalities manifest for individuals, groups, and wider society. The module will also explore how institutions respond to inequalities in a social policy context and examine the ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ of social policy in addressing inequalities. It will consider the impact of inequalities on global pandemics, and the impact of global pandemics on inequalities, and critically explore inequalities and policy in a global context.</p>
