Course description
This is an issues based course where students will get to apply their developing sociology skills to real world problems and injustices such as gender discrimination, racism, rising income inequality and climate justice in Australia and globally. The course content will be dynamic, using current debates and issues as the basis for learning. Learning will take place in a collaborative environment using case studies which allow students to apply their sociological imaginations and begin to think about methods to understand how power, social structure and identity work to create these challenges.
