| Unit Description |
This unit considers recent arguments that the concept of class is no longer of use (or has very limited use) in analysing modern society and its divisions. This unit provides a critique of these views and challenges students to consider the continuing relevance of class as a useful tool of analysis. The topic of social and material inequality is also explored, as are other areas of social division such as work and employment. Finally, the unit considers what implications, if any, there are in the analysis for political behaviour. |
