DESCRIPTION
This module will start by asking students to identify what they perceive as problems of discrimination, inequality or injustice. Students will be asked to consider what knowledge and skills they will need to tackle such problems in relation to social welfare and employment. The module in part will be organised in response to the issues raised by students. In addition students will be exposed to different theoretical perspectives on equality, social justice and diversity, and explore some of the debates about, and criticism of the pursuit of equality, social justice, diversity and multiculturalism. A range of different equality and diversity initiatives in the areas of employment and service delivery will be covered. Finally the module will explore strategies: to identify inequalities and forms of discrimination; to monitor equality and diversity policies and practices; and to evaluate outcomes and 'success'.
