University of Warwick in London –
Pre-University Tasters
In the Education Studies taster you will critically discuss the concepts of fairness and social justice in education, develop an understanding of contemporary educational debates and consider the role of education in individual’s lives, in shaping society, and in affecting change.
In the two Sociology sessions you will explore issues including how Sociology is often concerned with the main markers of social difference in modern society – class, gender, ‘race’/ethnicity, age, sexuality and (dis)ability – and how these intersect in shaping the life chances and experiences of individuals.
