Compulsory Modules
Advanced Ethnicity and Racism Studies will give you the tools to explore conceptual and theoretical debates within the sociology of 'race', and examine their implications for understanding and challenging problems of racism and racial inequality. Through this module, you will investigate the history of racism and ethnic minority settlement, the politicisation of race and the relevant legislation, race issues and the welfare state, and citizenship in a European context.
Race, Gender and Migration will introduce you to a primary cause and product of migration: race and gender inequality. Looking at the historical roots of migration and the impact on the development of identities, you will utilise contemporary theories to investigate how the structures underpinning migration reinforce inequalities. To highlight these issues, you will examine contemporary debates about domestic workers, trafficking, refugees and asylum seekers, and also explore EU immigration policy to ascertain why it is difficult for certain nationalities and ethnic groups to reach and stay in Western European countries.
