Overview

Participants will explore the personal and political dimensions of social justice concerns and develop their professional, practical and research skills in this area.

This programme provides students with the opportunity to address, in a unique way, the complex links between social justice and education, focusing on key current policy and political debates about the role of education.

They will also be able to develop, extend and reflect on their own professional interests, concerns and practice and how to address pressing issues of social justice in their everyday professional and personal lives.
