BA (Hons) Politics (Black Studies)

... United Kingdom
... London South Bank University

Course Overview

This exciting degree in Politics employs cutting-edge teaching and research methods to provide you with a unique insight into the political process. Delivered by experienced, expert and enthusiastic academics, it combines political concepts, ideas, values and institutions, and explores the relationship between political theory and practice. Your learning experience will go beyond observing and studying, and prepare you for engaging with politics in your career. Our core placement scheme offers opportunities that have seen former students work in parliament and MPs’ constituency offices – seeing politics-making from the inside, and providing a great basis for professional development.

The Black Studies pathway is designed to enable you to develop a deeper understanding of race and racism which, thanks to the activism of the #Black Lives Matter movement and its allies, is now back on the political agenda. In Year 2 you will explore the history of empire and analyse its social, political and economic legacies. This will provide a solid basis for understanding the power dynamics of racial inequalities in the present. In Year 3 you will explore the ways in which Black communities have responded to racial injustice. Theories relating to the social construction of ‘race’ will also be explored, enabling you to engage with confidence with issues of identity – notably how identities are formed, lived and expressed.
