PPS319 Social Movements, Social Policy and Social Change
The rise of Occupy, Black Lives Matter and Extinction Rebellion are recent examples of a long tradition of social movements seeking to bring about changes in policy and wider society. In this module, social movements are seen to arise from bottom-up grievances and challenge dominant prevailing structures and cultures at national and global levels. This module explores theoretical perspectives and concepts regarding social movements, from classical approaches to 'new' social movement theory. Alongside this, we will explore empirical evidence drawn from specific social movements, including the dimensions and dynamics of social movements, from their emergence to their strategies, structures, and consequences. To consider these themes and concepts in practice, we will discuss a range of case studies, including anti-racist, feminist, disability and environmentalist social movements, amongst others.

SPC306 All Our Futures – Social Policy in Ageing Societies
Population ageing is one of the most important issues we face today, nationally and globally. This module explores policies and provision, not only for the current generations of older people but for all our futures. It begins with an overview of the theoretical explanations of the experience of ageing and takes a critical social gerontological approach towards the analysis of policy. The impact of ageism and other forms of discrimination is explored. Substantive areas of policy are scrutinized in the UK and Welsh contexts, and comparatively with other countries. The significance of older citizens¿ participation in policy and decision making and advocacy is highlighted.
