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. This presentation is part of a related blog post that provides an overview of the event: http://bit.ly/1impOjY For further details of the HEA's work on employability and global citizenship in the Social Sciences, please see: http://bit.ly/17n8Knj
