MA SEOS: Superdiversity in Education, Organisations and Society

2 Apr 2024

The new joint Master's programme SEOS (Superdiversity in Education, Organisations and Society) is delivered by eight UNIC partner universities, including University College Cork.

SEOS students will explore the impact superdiversity has on education, organisations and the wider society. They will develop capacities to critically analyse complex processes of diversification and collaboratively create a European future that promotes justice and rights-based perspectives through inclusive practice. SEOS aims to equip the next generation of citizens with the 21st-century skills and knowledge needed to address the challenges of superdiverse societies.

The term “superdiversity” was developed to capture the increasing social complexity of diversity in contemporary societies. This social complexity is reflected in the growing acknowledgement of the intersections between social categories like ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, culture, religion, disabilities, social, economic, and legal status, and social differentiation. 

MA SEOS is led in UCC by Dr Claire Dorrity, Applied Social Studies. 

Applications to the MA SEOS programme are currently open. For more information, and to apply, see: https://www.unic.eu/en/seos.
