Students will become familiar with the concepts of citizenship, inclusion and inequality that are central to social policy, and how they manifest themselves globally, nationally and locally, in people&amp;#39;s everyday lives and in different practices.

Students are able to analyse and to evaluate socio-political discourse and practices from the perspectives of citizenship, inclusion and inequality understanding the links between concepts. Students are able to describe related social conflicts in an ethically sustainable way and to identify their own position as future experts and as enablers of social change.
