Applied Social Sciences, Journalism, Management: Fostering Inclusive Societies
Event details
Description
Join us for a taster session where we’ll focus on the issue of underrepresentation and how Social Sciences can help create a more inclusive society.
Academics from three areas will share how their subjects are addressing the challenges faced by marginalised and minority groups.
We’ll look at how social and cultural factors create divisions in society and discuss ways to promote inclusivity.
In this session, we’ll cover:
- What data can tell us in understanding and addressing social divisions and underrepresentation

- The role of wellbeing and employability of neurodiverse individuals in the workplace and society
