This interdisciplinary MA programme is led by Prof Sue Yeandle and brings together the expertise of staff in the Centre for International Research on Care, Labour and Equalities (SSP), the Centre for Employment Relations, Innovation and Change (LUBS) and from across the University of Leeds. It offers an exciting opportunity to develop an in-depth knowledge in work and employment, care, and migration studies, with the opportunity of contributing new ideas and to consider options for policy and practice in communities.
