Description

This module provides a broad introduction to the ways in which social identities have been studied in the social sciences. It will present key debates and the disagreements and areas of overlap between different theories. It offers students an opportunity to explore cutting edge research on social identities and the fact that everybody has multiple identities but tends to think of themselves in singular ways. It will explore the relevance of different theories for understanding the place of identity in social life by applying theories to everyday situations.
