About the course

The course gives you advanced insight into classical and contemporary sociological theories of social exclusion and how these perspectives are applied in current research. You examine the processes and structures that produce boundaries between included and excluded groups, whether linked to citizenship, ethnicity, gender, ability, age or other factors. The course also analyses how exclusion manifests across different social domains, including health care, housing and civil society.
