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.
