Managing equality and diversity at Work
Instructions and information applying to coursework assessment 1 specifically: ‘Seeing equality and diversity’: A Visual Analysis essay
It covers learning outcome 3 for the module: collect and synthesise relevant information related to equality and diversity issues.
The aim of this short essay assignment is to get you to think about where our understanding of difference comes from. Our exercise in the introductory workshops in teaching weeks 1 and 2 highlighted how we make assumptions about people’s characteristics based on a stock of social and cultural ‘knowledge’ and this has implications for how we might act and think in a workplace setting.
This assignment continues that idea by asking where does that ‘stock’ come from? In particular this assignment focuses on one important source, the images of people at work that circulate in mass news, entertainment and social media.
What you are required to do:
1. Find an image online that portrays something about equality and diversity at work to you. Copy or download the image and paste it into a document. Directly undemeath, add the reference for the source where you found it.
2. After your chosen image, write 1000 words critiquing how it portrays equality and/or diversity issues at work.
3. Upload your document, preferably as a Word file.
Distinctive and insightful analysis showing excellent understanding. Likely to be based on a novel choice of image and/or Equality & Diversity context with significant additional academic and policy reading and research to support thoughtful points made either about the way the image is ‘working’ on the viewer, the dimension of Equality & Diversit discussed, or both.
