The MA in Social and Political Theory is enormously
important at the present time.
If you look around the world today, whether
it’s close at home with the challenges of
Brexit or we look across the Atlantic at the
election of Donald Trump, the challenges that
we see in the Middle East, clearly we’re
living through very eventful times.
Politics is very volatile today and what this
degree program enables us to do is to stand
back a little from these pressing events and
to ask of the bigger underlining questions,
those are explanatory questions about the
nature of power, the nature of capitalism
but also normative questions about questions
of justice and the distribution of goods in
society.
If you come here to study this program it’s
those sorts of questions that you’ll be
able to engage with and you’ll be working
with a range of scholars who have expertise
across the disciplines of Social and Political
Theory.
You’ll also be able to do that at a world
class campus and a world class university.
