Syllabus

This subject presents a study of disparity between Indigenous and non Indigenous communities and challenges students to think seriously about the consequences of social division in contemporary Australian society. The major focus will be on inequality, in particular the construction of race, gender, class, ethnicity, and sexuality. The subject will examine the way that inequality is experienced in urban, regional and remote Indigenous based communities, within the justice, health care, housing, education, and welfare systems.

Learning Outcomes

1. On completion of this subject students will: be competent to source information, define areas of inequity and policies that contribute to this: be skilled to identify problems, develop arguments and communicate those concepts through critical discussion and presentations; be able to present written and oral information in a structured and systematic format; have developed minor interpersonal skills to work as a team member in local communities to develop specific programs relating to inequities
