Dialogue Studies
Key Information
Overview

The context underpinning this MA is the need to understand and
respond to the problems and challenges generated by the UK’s
diverse society. Diverse societies are capable of both promoting
a culturally rich, open-minded society or, conversely, to harbour
deep divisions which can lead to problems of ghettoisation,
social and political disengagement, inequality, resentment
and discrimination. The need to address such difficulties and the
aspiration to achieve a thriving diversity demands dialogue to
increase interaction and understanding between different sectors
of the community. The MA in Dialogue Studies will provide master’s
level teaching and experience catered to the demands of such
efforts. It aims to develop reflective practitioners and students of
dialogue equipped to examine and evaluate theories of dialogue and
carry them forward with appropriate adaptations and innovations.
The aim of the programme is to equip you with the knowledge,
understanding and skills to engage effectively in and lead meaningful
dialogue advancing intercultural interaction, community cohesion
and proactive citizenship. A distinctive and innovative feature of
the programme is a placement with the Dialogue Society in London
(www.dialoguesociety.org) during which you will develop your skills
through active participation in the work of this charity.
