This course approaches race and racism through a wide range of topics. It includes a mix of history, theory and politics in relation to racism, ethnicity and post-coloniality. Equipping graduates with interdisciplinary skills and cultural knowledge valued by employers.

The aim is to foster your ability to think critically and express your ideas rigorously in written and verbal forms; to be clear about the political and ethical problems associated with this history and to be empowered to act in pursuit of racial justice and equality in a variety of institutional contexts.
