Location of University of Bristol
This programme is principally concerned with explaining the importance of ethnicity and multiculturalism, 'race', racism, diaspora and communalism in contemporary societies. It has a particular focus on the nature of multicultural and multiethnic societies, the issues surrounding culture in a modern and postmodern world, and the growing public policy implications of addressing ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious diversity within modern nation-states.
It also examines the discrimination, exclusion, marginality and unfair treatment of minority groups, and the violation of their civil rights in different societies. The politics of multiculturalism and citizenship, and their implications for public policy, are also closely examined.
The Department of Politics, Department of Sociology and Centre for East Asian Studies recently merged to create a new School within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law.
