The Social Justice and Education MA will help students to identify, examine and understand key sociological and philosophical perspectives on social justice and education, including issues of 'race', class, gender and sexuality. 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 supports students to address the complex links between social justice and education, drawing in particular on sociological perspectives.Students will develop critical theoretical, methodological and analytical skills in educational research, focusing on key current policy, theoretical, conceptual and political debates about the role of education. Students will consider how to address pressing issues of social justice in their own professional, activist and/or personal lives. Through their engagement with cutting-edge research in this area they will learn tools for fighting for social justice and transformation in the educational areas relevant for them.
