Description
Summary
In this module you will discuss key issues around diversity and inclusion, with a specific focus on groups typically seen as 鈥榲ulnerable鈥� or excluded in humanitarian contexts.
You will discuss new ways of thinking about intersecting issues such as age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) race, ethnicity, indigeneity, class and religion.
You will learn about efforts to decolonialise the aid agenda and how this relates to the localisation agenda current in humanitarian debates.
You will examine why interventions fail to reach excluded groups; critically assess the range of guidelines and tools available; and discuss what an intersectional focus means for the sector going forward in terms of political, ethical and technical challenges.
The method of delivery
This module will primarily be delivered through subject-specific lectures, with expert guest lecturers for specific themes. Seminars will take aspects of the debates and discuss how they are reflected in current tools and guidelines. Students will be expected to have undertaken the required reading and actively contribute to class discussions and work groups.
