1st in the world for Development Studies (— University Rankings by Subject 2024) Achieving social justice in our rapidly changing and increasingly unequal world is a major challenge. On this MA, you'll tackle this challenge so you can contribute to positive change. With our support, you'll learn to articulate your understanding of power and participation. You'll have the opportunity to connect what you learn to what interests you most in the social change arena. This MA is for you if you’re an aspiring or experienced development practitioner, social activist or professional with some background in social change action through work volunteering or activism. During your studies, you'll gain skills, develop ideas and learn methods that help you to: - critically reflect on your own experience, work, and practice - learn about different conceptual and methodological approaches to power participation and social change - develop your analysis and facilitation skills to support and interpret participatory research and deliberation processes in a range of settings. This course is taught at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS). We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
