This module aims to introduce students to the concept of diversity management. Specifically, the module aims to provide students with theoretical and conceptual tools that will help them gain an understanding of the British and European contexts of workforce diversity, the changing practices of governments, organisations and human resource practitioners, as well as the changing policy landscape. The module also aims to encourage students to consider the intersection of different dimensions of inequality (inequality strands such as gender, age, ethnicity, etc.).
