Hear From Our Graduates
" Academically, I most enjoyed the Sociology of Health and Illness and Precarity and Insecure lives modules. The Sociology of Health and Illness module alerted me to the fact that grave health inequalities are often determined by socioeconomic, ethnic, and gendered factors. Precarity and Insecure Lives allowed me to delve into the structural reasons for such factors and analyse in detail some of the impacts of social inequities."
