    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.

    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.

    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.
    7
    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.
    8
    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

    social force, and consider the changing nature of sport

    increasing commercialisation?
    9
    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?

    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.
    11
    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.
    12
    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.

    Diplomas Student Policies and Procedures
    All policy and procedure information is available on the Monash College
    website: http://www.monashcollege.edu.au/policy
    Academic Integrity:
    Cheating, Plagiarism and Collusion
    Monash College is committed to preventing plagiarism, cheating and collusion to protect the College’s
    reputation and the standards for current and future students.
    Severe penalties will be imposed if you engage in, or support other students to engage in activities
    which undermine the integrity of the assessment process.
    Plagiarism: To take and use another person's ideas and/or manner of expressing them and to pass
    them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement, including the use of material
    from any source, staff, students or the Internet, published and unpublished works.
    Cheating: To seek to obtain an unfair advantage in an examination or written, oral or practical work,
    required to be submitted or completed for assessment in a course or unit of study. This includes the
    resubmission of work that has already been assessed in another unit.
    Collusion: Unauthorised collaboration on an assessable written, oral or practical work with another
    person or persons.
    Submitting an application for an extension of time to submit an assessment
    If you need more time to complete and submit your assessment task due to being affected by a
    serious illness or other exceptional causes, you will need to apply for special consideration. If you do
    not submit an item of assessment by the due date and do not have an approved extension of time,
    you will incur a penalty.
    The Special Consideration application form is available on the policy website:
    http://www.monashcollege.edu.au/policy
    You can also apply for special consideration if you believe that an illness or other serious cause has
    substantially affected your work during the trimester.
    Late Submission Penalties
    A five percent penalty applies for the first day of the missed deadline. After that, a subsequent penalty
    of two percent per day will be applied for the next thirteen calendar days after the due date, including
    Saturdays and Sundays. No assessment item can be accepted after more than fourteen calendar
    days unless a special consideration application has been approved.

    satisfactory course progress.
    You will be contacted via email at the end of each trimester, following result release, if you are ‘at risk’
    of making unsatisfactory academic process (i.e. failing some or all of your units).

    includes attending an Academic Support Meeting to help identify difficulties (academic or other) that
    are affecting your progress and inform or refer you to other support services.
    Attending your classes
    Attendance is monitored in all workshops and tutorials to support and assist you to achieve positive
    learning outcomes.
