This unit examines the phenomenon of social inequality within and between a range of societies or nation-states, with reference to such concepts as class, status, gender, race, ethnicity and globalisation. Drawing on varied theoretical perspectives and empirical studies, the unit probes the social and cultural meanings of inequality, as well as the ways in which inequalities are produced, reproduced and experienced. It also explores the discontent, conflict, ideologies and societal change that may arise out of social inequality. -- Course Website
