This course explores what recent changes to the global cultural and political landscape mean for individuals and groups, in terms of their ability to access human rights. The PGDip Global Citizenship, Identities and Human Rights aims to find out by investigating critical global questions such as war, migration, climate change, the credit crunch, the rise of nationalism, the impact of global media, sex tourism, modern slavery, the transformation of gender and sexuality and, of course, contemporary racism. This course will be particularly beneficial if students wish to pursue a career in the NGO sector, academia, the civil service, or journalism, as it both provides advanced level sociological knowledge of debates on human rights, citizenship, globalisation and identities, and offers opportunities to develop specialist knowledge and understanding of post-conflict cultures, human rights law and/or of media and globalisation, rights and identities.
