Aims
1. To critically analyse theoretical explanations of inequalities, social exclusion, harm and marginalisation.
2. To utilise a range of contemporary case studies to explore the experiences of excluded and marginalised groups and as a means of developing students’ ability to critically apply criminological and sociological theoretical perspectives.
3. To explore the opportunities and barriers to addressing inequality and exclusion, situating discussion within historical, social and political contexts.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify key theoretical perspectives that can be used to account for social exclusion and inequalities.
2.
Apply criminological / sociological theory to a specific case study on social exclusion
3.
Demonstrate a critical understanding of attempts to address inequality and exclusion, including official responses
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:o Defining and explaining social exclusion

Module Overview:
This module aims to develop your understanding of processes of social exclusion and social inequalities. It draws upon theoretical and empirical accounts of inequality and exclusion to help you to gain an understanding of social divisions and intersectionalities. A case-study approach will be employed to develop your ability to apply key exclusionary concepts and to critically assess both the implications of exclusion and official responses to it.
