Course description

PPES4100 Politics, Philosophy, Economics 4: Toward Social and Economic Reform applies a real-life, employability-focused lens that will enable you to draw on and apply the practical and professional skills you have gained during your PPE journey. With a particular emphasis on equality and inequality - a core, substantive area of dispute in resolving complex policy problems - you will lead (individually and/or in teams) an independent inquiry. This inquiry requires you to think deeply about the life experience of those affected by inequality to provide thoughtful and creative solutions. You will need to be self-regulating in your research and project development as you integrate knowledge and skills from the three disciplines to create an evidence-based policy solution.
