About the course
Course content
The course addresses key issues related to inclusion and exclusion, marginality and diversity, deviations and social problems - both specifically for the disabled and more generally. One will go into and discuss key theoretical approaches and perspectives, political developments and more. The specific content of the course may vary from time to time, and may, for example, focus in particular on specific arenas (eg inclusive working life), international developments, the importance of CRPD, people in need of comprehensive services or similarities and differences across different groups that risk marginalization. Details about the specific content are provided when announcing the time for carrying out the course.
Learning outcome
Students will have in-depth knowledge of key theories and approaches in research on inclusion and exclusion, deviations and diversity, and especially towards the topic that is in focus for the course in the semester it is conducted. Great emphasis is placed on the students developing their ability to apply theories and perspectives to issues that they themselves work with in their doctoral work.

Compulsory activity from previous semesters can be approved by the department.
