Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Have you ever wondered how you can positively change your community and others? How can we use social scientific approaches to understand and bring about meaningful positive change at a local level? How do different people across different social contexts value and work to bring about such change themselves? This subject combines anthropological methods and perspectives with those of diversely related disciplines, including Sustainability and Development Studies, Aboriginal Studies, Gender Studies, Politics and Sociology, to understand what contributes to local community change.
