Equality Studies is an inter-disciplinary study of significant equalities and inequalities in human life, both as it has been and as it might be. It addresses topics such as patterns of inequality, explanations of inequality, principles of equality and equality objectives, egalitarian social, political and economic institutions and strategies for change. The Centre's main aims are to develop an interdisciplinary understanding of equality, to promote greater understanding and concern for equality both within Ireland and internationally, and to undertake and promote research on equality issues.
Some of the major themes underlying the postgraduate programmes in the School of Social Justice are: Social Class Structures and Equality; Gender Equality and Public Policy; Gender Inequalities; Global North/South Inequalities and Development; Minorities and Discrimination (addressing issues of racism, ageism, disability, language, and sexualities); Gender and Globalisation; Theories and Politics of Feminism; Lifelong Learning and Adult Education.
Students are drawn from a diverse range of backgrounds and mature and ‘returning’ students are encouraged to apply. All programmes can be taken on a part-time or fulltime basis. Core modules are generally scheduled for late afternoon/early evening.
