employability and the sociological imagination - groupwork
DESCRIPTION
Presentation at the HEA-funded workshop 'Employability and the sociological imagination' The workshop examined the potential of using the ‘sociological imagination’ to raise awareness of employability by engaging students in a reflective sociological critique of the concept. It considered how a pedagogic approach can be used to support personal development and career planning in a less-obviously vocational discipline.
