SOCL11056 Australian Society

Course details

In this course students should be able to learn to use sociological perspectives and techniques to analyse some of the main characteristics of Australian society. Students should be able to analyse what it means to be an Australian in a globalising world; the historical and ethnic underpinnings of this sense of self; and differences between urban and rural contexts. Topics covered include food consumption, tourism, sport and deviance, with a focus on how these things embody and reinforce major social differentiations such as gender and class.
