Course description
This is an issues-based course where students apply their developing sociology skills to real world problems and injustices such as gender discrimination, racism, and income inequality, in Australia and globally. The course content will be dynamic, using current debates and issues as the basis for learning. The assessment will be tailored to address the interests of students. Learning will take place in a blended learning environment with a mixture of lectures, online material, and in-class seminar engagement. The course utilises a collaborative environment that invites students to apply their sociological imaginations to think about how power, social structure, and identity work to create and to resist social inequalities.
