Education and Society raises questions about the role of education in addressing issues of social justice, power and inequality. Education and Society is available as a major for the BA and BSoc
Sc. Education and Society may also be taken as a second major or as a supporting subject within other undergraduate degrees, subject to academic approval of the Faculty or School of Studies in which the student is enrolled. Note: Education and Society was previously known as Education Studies.
