This text would be of interest to Education Studies students with an interest in life long learning who are keen to explore equality and diversity.

A range of approaches are successfully employed to increase reader engagement and encourage further understanding. The use of examples, activities, summaries and suggestions of further readings for example, support the process of independent learning while providing a useful starting point and overview of key themes and ideas.
