Do you find yourself wondering about health, gender and sexuality, diversity and inequality? Do you want to develop your knowledge of contemporary communities and the issues facing us? If you’re interested in these fundamental social issues, and you want to develop your awareness and skills within a dynamic and supportive university, then this could be the course for you. Without doubt, the impact of Covid-19 on societies across the globe continues to be of immense sociological significance, with widespread social protests around inequality and injustice.
