AUSTRALIA AND BEYOND: INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY
SOC1AAB
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject students are introduced to the sociology of contemporary society. The focus is on Australia - a nation-state and society subject to global forces and expressions of local culture and power. We think about social order and divisions in Australian society across place and time. We look at particular cities and regions across Australia and beyond. What is culture and how do we make and do culture? What are we to make of the way the larger global context impacts upon us? How can sociology help us to answer these questions?
