Module details for 2024/25.

FHEQ Level 5
Module Outline
How do diverse groups experience the effects of development differently because of certain aspects
of their identity such as gender, race, and sexuality? The module will introduce students to a range of
concepts and frameworks that will allow them to identify, analyse and explain different forms of
gendered and racial inequality. The latter part of the course will show students how to apply this
knowledge in a range of practical contexts. Case studies may include activism tackling sexual and
gendered based violence, policies towards migration, and toolkits for addressing rising sexism and
racism online.

Analyse different approaches to gender and race in development
theory, policy and practice with reference to concrete empirical
applications.

justice.
