Course summary

The MA in Transformative Practices in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in ATU Mayo Campus aims to respond to three specific challenges:

First, it responds to the requirement to understand a socially diverse and multi-cultural Ireland.

Second, it seeks to enhance the skills of learners so that they may be culturally, socially, and emotionally competent in equality, diversity, and inclusion practices.

Third, it sets out to support learners to engage in transformative practice so that difference and inclusion can be rendered visible and celebrated in the framework of a positive affirmation of human diversity.

The programme is designed to develop graduates who primarily will work in equality, inclusion, and diversity related fields, but the programme is also suitable for those seeking a broad understanding of contemporary equality and diversity issues.
