Equality is an ideal to which we all aspire. Yet more closely we examine it, the more its meaning shifts. Sometimes equal treatment can lead to inequality, sometimes unequal treatments might be necessary to achieve equality. The course attempts to examine the scope and coverage of EU law on all grounds upon which it currently forbids discrimination and seeks to promote equality between people (sex, racial, religion or belief, disability, age and sexual orientation) . The course is open to students with an interest in EU social policy law. A specific background in legal studies is not required. Participants will be asked to read and debate the materials provided to them which will contain: text, suggestions for further readings, model questions and annexes containing relevant cases.
