Utbildningsfakta

Kod: PDG114

**How do education systems promote, or hinder, equity and participation for all?** This course critically explores the core concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, with a focus on their meaning and application in educational contexts. Students will engage with issues of power, marginalization, and belonging across schools, higher education, workplaces, and leisure activities. The course examines DEI from multiple perspectives, with particular attention to how dimensions such as gender, class, ethnicity, multilingualism, and dis ability intersect to shape educational experiences and opportunities. The course adopts both intersectional and decolonial lenses to address how societal structures can limit or expand access and participation for individuals and groups at risk of marginalisation. Structured around three thematic modules, students will explore **Migration and Integration **<br> Analyze how migration and ethnicity affect access to education and inclusion in society. **Capability and Inclusion** <br> Examine how individual and structural factors influence participation, with emphasis on the capability approach. **Institutional and Organizational Structures**<br> Critically assess how policies, leadership, and organizational frameworks promote or hinder inclusive environments. <br> The course combines lectures with compulsory seminars that require active and prepared participation. Teaching is interactive, involving group work, case analyses, and individual reflections. The language of instruction is English. Access to a computer and internet is required for all students. Whether you aim to deepen your understanding of social justice in education or contribute to more inclusive practices in your field, this course offers tools to critically reflect, engage, and act towards change.
