Abstract

In this thesis I examine theoretical underpinnings to policies of equality of
opportunity and in so doing, offer the case for: a) including classism within the
realm of equality of opportunity policy; b) a re-evaluation of ethnic monitoring
procedures to embrace contemporary concerns about the category construct of
ethnic identity; c) the development of an ethics of sex relations to complement
strategies to combat material sexism. In supporting my case I explore
enlightenment conceptions of equality against contemporary late and postmodern
debates about difference and otherness. This exploration includes an
assessment of Italian and French theories of sex difference. I conclude with an
assessment. of the tension between social and private determinants of
disadvantage and inequality.
