8cp
Disciplinary Strand – Social, Political and Historical Studies – 300 level

This subject analyses in detail the concepts of inequality and power, and examines the huge variety of kinds of inequality that exist throughout all contemporary cultures. Specific attention is paid to race, ethnicity, sex, sexuality and disability as markers of difference and inequality. Power relationships that emerge from the examination of social inequalities are explored in depth, particularly in the context of contemporary Australian life. Through online discussions and independent research projects, students investigate many aspects of the problems facing current attempts to develop a just society here and abroad.
