In this module we examine from a critical stance how equality, diversity, and inclusion are spoken about and addressed – but also challenged, ignored, resisted, rejected, and belittled – in the organisations in which we work and in society more broadly. Students undertaking this module will be supported to think critically about equality, diversity, and inclusion with a view to translating these insights into actions that advance social justice in their organisations, professions, and personal lives.
• Identify key issues related to equality, diversity, and inclusion with respect to social differences, including race, religion and ethnicity, genders and sexualities, disability, neurodiversity and mental health, age, and class;
• Critically evaluate the concepts of equality, diversity, and inclusion from a rights-based and social justice perspective;
• Articulate a deep understanding about how discrimination, inequality and exclusion are experienced, informed by research evidence and personal accounts;
• Identify skills and practices that promote diversity, equality and inclusion, and scaffold agency and advocacy in various professions and in workplace settings;
• Engage in equality impact assessments of organisations, policies and procedures in professional settings and design solutions to advance EDI in workplace cultures;
• Foster a culture of inclusion where clients and service users feel respected, and that their perspectives and contributions are valued.
