Course summary

Evaluate and debate the fairness of educational practices.This course is ideal if you have an interest in diversity, inclusion, equality and a fair and decent society. It's especially useful for current and future teachers as well as potential policy makers and researchers.Educational policymakers, researchers and teachers recognise that social justice is fundamental to their work. This course will equip you to investigate the pedagogical and professional issues that relate to social justice. On the MASJE degree students work with colleagues in the Education Department’s Centre for Research on Education and Social Justice (CRESJ) where they will have the opportunity to explore the nature of social justice and the role of education in its achievement.Students will explore the boundaries of knowledge and understanding of educational policy and practice.You will gain fundamental philosophical perspectives on education and social justice, and be able to critically reflect on dominant conceptions of education and human capital.Students will analyse social justice as an essential perspective that is expressed through education and explore education as a mechanism to enhance social justice (for example through policy).The programme equips students to act knowledgeably, thoughtfully and decisively regarding questions of inclusion, equality and diversity, with special emphasis on current issues in higher education, intercultural communication, race, gender, sexuality, power and citizenship education.You will take a total of 180 credits, including core modules, option modules, and a dissertation.Core modules will introduce you to the tools and techniques you'll use throughout the course and in your career. You'll also choose option modules that will allow you to build a course that suits your interests and supports your career.In the Summer term you'll continue to develop your research skills, while also working on your dissertation.
