不平等现象和社会科学

This Masters programme equips students with the necessary knowledge
and skills to engage in and contribute toward work that tackles the
realities and effects of social inequality. Capitalising on academic and
applied expertise in the School of Sociology and Social Policy and the Leeds Inequalities Research Network,
this programme harnesses leading analytical approaches combining
qualitative, quantitative and data analytic methods (in close
collaboration with the School of Geography).In
addition to offering an advanced understanding of rising material
inequality, the programme encourages an intersectional approach to
understanding socio-economic stratification and how this links with
physical (dis)ability, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality,
class and age. It provides a stimulating intellectual environment and
cutting-edge methodological approaches to comparing and contrasting the
formation and consequences of inequalities across a range of national
and international contexts. Through an examination of geopolitical and
socioeconomic shifts, such as urbanisation and globalisation, students
are actively supported to critically interrogate the contemporary
character and extent of social inequality.
