Culture, Indigeneity and Citizenship: Critical Debates for the Human Services
Description
The course provides a critical introduction to the historical and current debates of culture, indigeneity and citizenship. The course focuses on debates that move beyond conventional notions of culture, indigeneity and citizenship, and treats these as strategic concepts that are central in the analysis of global/local identities, participation, empowerment, and social justice. Understanding how other communities, populations, groups and individuals organise their lives and participate in the social world enables us to develop theoretically informed tools for providing practical analysis and advice in the shaping/construction of human services agencies and practice.

Qualitative Research Methods
Description
This course introduces students to a range of qualitative research approaches. We begin by exploring the philosophical underpinnings of qualitative research, including methodological frameworks, theories, and controversies. Students learn about practical issues encountered in ‘doing’ research. Those practical issues include ethics of the research process; navigating cultures and hard-to-reach groups; data gathering via documents, interviews, and focus groups; and analysing data. Students are encouraged to think critically about the applicability of developing ethical research models within diverse contexts/settings. Through manageable research assignments, students become familiar with the business of research and how it fits within complex and diverse human service systems.

Sport, Exercise and Development
Description
This course provides the opportunity to explore socio-cultural constructions of sport and exercise. Students are introduced to key social theories to develop an understanding of the cultural, political and economic processes of sport and the role of sport in constructing dominant ways of thinking in relation to gender, ethnicity, sexuality, (dis)ability, class and nationality. We critically consider issues in the promotion of sport and exercise in areas of health, wellbeing and social development within local and global contexts. The inclusion of guest lecturers in specialist areas and current research from staff ensures that the course is cutting edge.
