Social Inequality issues are also relevant to several of the topics covered in the second year of the Advanced level course.
Please note that although my documents on Stratification and Differentiation and Social Inequalities certainly do take account of different theoretical approaches and I do provide some information on the measurement of patterns of inequality I do not currently provide any information specifically on individual Research Methods related to Social Inequality issues but students can consult their textbooks and other Sociology websites for this information.
