Learning and Teaching

This unit involves 1 x 2 hour, weekly expert-led session (lecture) and 2 X 1.5 hour tuition seminars

(tutorials). You will be required to complete pre and post class activities, including the completion of

online readings. You are expected to spend up to 7 hours a week in pre and post class learning – 3

hours before class (pre) and 4 hours after class (post).

Students complete pre expert led session learning activities: the pre-session learning activities develop

comprehension of knowledge. Students may undertake assessment tasks prior to the expert led

session, embedding comprehension and providing learning analytics for the expert. The students’

immediate application of knowledge in the expert led session enhances content recall, critical thinking

and future application of content outside of the classroom setting; learning analytics guides subsequent

expert led sessions.

The lectures provide an introduction to the topic and outline some of the key thinkers and theories. They

provide you with a guide to important reading and allow you the opportunity to ask questions about the

unit and its content. The material covered in the lectures and tutorials will equip you to undertake the

assessments and form the basis for the exam.

In the seminar classes, students apply their knowledge and develop their critical thinking and

communication skills through group discussions and interactive presentations. Feedback from both

peers and the session leader aids in the development of key skills. The tutorials are group discussions

which allow you to explore the issues raised in the lectures in smaller groups. This gives you the

opportunity to explore the lectures and readings in depth, and allow you to test out ideas and clarify

issues which may not be clear to you.

Examination

There will be a 2-hour exam during the official examination period at the end of trimester. The exam is

made up of short essay questions which will enable you to demonstrate your knowledge of sociological

concepts discussed during the lectures, tutorials and readings during the course of the trimester.

Week Topic and Learning objectives Activities

Introduction

Welcome to the unit! The first lecture will cover the

expectations and requirements for the unit and provide

an outline of the sociological perspective.

Tutorials this week will also cover key

expectations and requirements, and provide

an opportunity for everyone to get to know

each other!

Module 1 Cultural diversity

Introduction to Cultural diversity

This module explores the relevance of understanding

cultural diversity in the Australian context. The main

approaches to the study of ethnicity and migration will be

introduced and the concepts of multiculturalism,

nationalism, cosmopolitanism, assimilation and social

cohesion will be considered. What it means to be

‘Australian’ and notions of belonging and identity will also

be explored. The module includes a focus on the social

problem of refugees in Australia. The difference between

the terms of asylum seeker and refugee will be examined

and the topic will reflect on diverse and changing

attitudes towards those who seek refugee status. The

relevance of fear and visibility will be discussed. There

will also be a focus on Muslim and Australian identities

beginning with the early settlers to Muslims in

contemporary Australia. Issues relating to religion,

discrimination, fear and 'othering' will be explored. This

introduction to the cultural diversity module will provide

an overview of what will be covered in the following three

weeks. Different views of what it means to be ‘an

Australian’ will be also be discussed and the notion of

being ‘unAustralian’ will be considered.

For discussion, students will be provided with

a set of practice questions relating to the

Australian citizenship test. After attempting

the questions, consider if you would pass or

not. Also consider if such questions are what

you would expect on a citizenship test.

Cultural diversity in Australia

This lecture introduces the relevance of understanding

cultural diversity in the Australian context. The main

approaches to the study of ethnicity and migration will

be introduced. The concepts of multiculturalism,

nationalism, cosmopolitanism, assimilation and social

cohesion will also be considered. What it means to be

‘Australian’ and notions of belonging and identity will be

explored.

In preparation for the tutorial, identify in a

news article one or more of the notions of

multiculturalism, nationalism,

cosmopolitanism, assimilation and/or social

cohesion. Bring the article to the tutorial to

discuss your example of one or more of

these concepts.

Refugees in Australia

The issue of refugees is an ongoing social problem.

The difference between the terms of asylum seeker and

refugee will be considered. The topic will reflect on

diverse and changing attitudes towards those who seek

refugee status. The relevance of fear and visibility will

also be discussed.

Week Topic and Learning objectives Activities

Essay 1

due

Muslims in Australia

This final week of the Cultural Diversity Module

considers Muslim and Australian identities beginning

with the early settlers to Muslims in contemporary

Australia. Issues relating to religion, discrimination, fear

and 'othering' will be explored .

1. What relevance does Samuel

Huntington’s (1996: 23) ‘clash of

civilizations’ thesis have in Australia

today?

2. Does an expectation to assimilate remain

in Australia? Think of examples to

contribute to discussion.

3. Woodlock (2011: 207) asserts that:

‘Some Australian politicians and media

commentators have called for bans on

Islamic female dress, giving a variety of

reasons, underscoring the meme that

such dress is foreign, threatening and

not Australian’. Is this view in conflict

with a multicultural society? If so, why?

Module 2 Popular Culture

Popular Media

Much of what we do outside of work (or study) sees us

engage in what we broadly define as popular culture.

From movies and music to sport and social media, a

great deal of our energies are spent on creating and

consuming things that have little to do with material

survival, and everything to do with bringing meaning to

our lives. In this lecture, I will introduce the popular

culture module, and provide an outline of sociology’s

contributions to understanding this important aspect of

social life. We will then focus more specifically on

popular film and television, and on how these media

forms provide social cohesion and solidarity whilst also

reflecting and reinforcing social inequalities.

In small groups, choose 2 popular films or TV

shows and discuss how their themes, stories

and characters reflect and/or challenge the

social inequalities of class, gender, sexuality

and/or ethnicity. Present your findings to the

rest of the class.

Consumer culture

This lecture will focus on how consumption has

replaced production as the defining logic of developed

societies in late-modernity, and the profound impact of

this shift on ordinary life and culture. We will look at the

tensions between the sociological view of consumer

culture as a fruitful site of meaning-making, and the

more critical view that emphasises the commodification

of self, and the social and environmental impacts of our

increasing pursuit of ‘stuff’.

How much of what you spend your money on

relates more to your cultural, rather than

material, needs? Are your engagements as a

consumer in the late-modern economy

important to your sense of self and identity?

If so, in what ways? Do you ever worry about

the social and environmental impacts of your

consumption habits, and do these concerns

ever inform your purchasing decisions?

Discuss these questions in groups and relate

your shared thoughts to the rest of the class.

Sport

Sport is an integral part of life for many people.

Australians, in particular, take great pride in their

nation’s sporting achievements and, in this era of

increasing individualisation, it remains an important

pillar of many local communities. However, sport can

divide people as well as bring them together and, whilst

In what ways is sport in Australia a gendered

social phenomenon? Discuss in relation to

the sporting codes themselves, the media

surrounding them, and their cultures of

fandom. Also, is sport losing its meaning in

efforts are being made towards greater inclusivity, it has

long served to reinforce social inequalities. This week

we will explore sport as both a unifying and dividing

social force, and consider the changing nature of sport

in relation to rationalisation and commercialisation.

late-modern societies as a consequence of

increasing commercialisation?

Digital Culture

In a relatively short space of time, digital technologies

have completely transformed modes of communication,

the way we access information and our understanding

and presentation of self. Indeed, young people born in

the 1990s, often referred to by commentators and

journalists as ‘Generation Z’, will essentially have no

memory of what life was like before widespread mobile

phone use and internet connectivity. This week we will

examine the social historical dimensions of the digital

revolution, and its ongoing impacts on popular culture.

Do you remember Myspace? If so, what are

the key differences between how you and/or

friends and family used this site and how you

use Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter

today? What does your social media

presence say about who you are? Is this

your ‘authentic’ self or something else?

due

Module 3 Population and society Global

population growth

In this week we will look at the trends in and patterns of

world population and some of the consequences of

these.

World population is projected to increase to

9.5 billion by 2050. How can we increase the

living standard in the developing world

without causing adverse environmental

consequences? Discuss potential

social institutional adjustments, consumption

patterns, relocation of population and other

possible adjustments.

Immigration

This week we examine the causes and consequences

of international migration.

Current population size in Australia is about

21.5 million. Some suggest that Australia can

easily accommodate 50 million people.

Others are skeptical. Is it desirable to aim for

50 million people by 2050? Why? Frame the

discussion around the pros and cons of this

demographic scenario.

Childbearing in Australia

The levels and trends in childbearing in Australia are

the focus of this week. In particular we will look at why

Australian women on average have fewer children

these days than in the past.

Why is fertility low and how can it be

increased in Australia? Focus the discussion

on social institutions, and social values and

norms.
