A cultural studies approach to social life focuses on the way we experience the world, taking account of what we see, what we hear, what we consume and how we communicate. This course looks at how our lives are influenced by flows of images and objects around the world, and tracks the ways that global and local processes impact on each other.

Introduction to sociology as a discipline and a review of some of its internal debates. Topics include: social class, gender, globalisation, power, sexual identity and family. Draws on material from a range of societies. Provides an introduction to the sociological analysis of New Zealand society. Looks at familiar events, institutions, social processes from a sociological point of view and offers ways to understand them in new and different ways. Focuses on the structure of New Zealand society and on social and political changes which affect the lives of New Zealanders and shape their society. Sociology is a modern discipline, born of the âdual revolution'. French political experience between 1789 and 1871, and British industrialisation are studied to explore the nature of modernity. And hence, of course, why sociology takes its current intellectual shape. Provides an overview of key contemporary social policy issues within the context of globalising economic processes and continuing gendered and racialised divisions. Discusses the way in which debates around social policy are constructed and the implications this has for social justice. Case studies may include food and health, technology, indigeneity and children. A cultural studies approach to social life focuses on the way we experience the world, taking account of what we see, what we hear, what we consume and how we communicate. This course looks at how our lives are influenced by flows of images and objects around the world, and tracks the ways that global and local processes impact on each other. Auckland is in New Zealand but not always of New Zealand. By studying differences in class, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and other social factors, what makes Auckland âspecial' is explored; its own particular place(s) within New Zealand, a city suffering (and enjoying) an uneasy relationship with the rest of this country and beyond. An introduction to the major themes of social theory. The focus is on the analyses of modern society to be found in the works of classical and contemporary social analysts. An introduction to social research through an examination of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Examines the social aspects of work and leisure. Particular attention is paid to the phenomena of surveillance and simulation and their impact on work and leisure, including control and resistance. These developments are crucial to understanding the âbig issues' of globalisation, restructuring and new technologies. Course material is drawn from international literatures and is grounded in an understanding of contemporary New Zealand. From 1492 to Franz Fanon to the Zapatistas, we look at the âWest and the Rest' through the realities of colonialism and decolonisation; âaid and development'; under/overdevelopment; globalisation; IMF/World Bank/World Trade Organization hegemony; the rise of the non-governmental organisations and the anti-capitalist upsurges of the new millennium. An interpretation of popular culture both as an indicator of social change and as a location of meaning and significance. Undertaken by the analysis of the industries which organise it, the texts which realise it, and the audiences which recognise it. This course looks at the persistence of race, gender and class inequality in Australia and New Zealand, from white settlement to the âcelebrations' of 1988/1990 and onwards to the bicultural and multicultural settlements in the twenty-first century.

Introduction to sociology as a discipline and a review of some of its internal debates. Topics include: social class, gender, globalisation, power, sexual identity and family. Draws on material from a range of societies. Provides an introduction to the sociological analysis of New Zealand society. Looks at familiar events, institutions, social processes from a sociological point of view and offers ways to understand them in new and different ways. Focuses on the structure of New Zealand society and on social and political changes which affect the lives of New Zealanders and shape their society. Sociology is a modern discipline, born of the âdual revolution'. French political experience between 1789 and 1871, and British industrialisation are studied to explore the nature of modernity. And hence, of course, why sociology takes its current intellectual shape. Provides an overview of key contemporary social policy issues within the context of globalising economic processes and continuing gendered and racialised divisions. Discusses the way in which debates around social policy are constructed and the implications this has for social justice. Case studies may include food and health, technology, indigeneity and children. A cultural studies approach to social life focuses on the way we experience the world, taking account of what we see, what we hear, what we consume and how we communicate. This course looks at how our lives are influenced by flows of images and objects around the world, and tracks the ways that global and local processes impact on each other. Auckland is in New Zealand but not always of New Zealand. By studying differences in class, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and other social factors, what makes Auckland âspecial' is explored; its own particular place(s) within New Zealand, a city suffering (and enjoying) an uneasy relationship with the rest of this country and beyond. An introduction to the major themes of social theory. The focus is on the analyses of modern society to be found in the works of classical and contemporary social analysts. An introduction to social research through an examination of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Examines the social aspects of work and leisure. Particular attention is paid to the phenomena of surveillance and simulation and their impact on work and leisure, including control and resistance. These developments are crucial to understanding the âbig issues' of globalisation, restructuring and new technologies. Course material is drawn from international literatures and is grounded in an understanding of contemporary New Zealand. From 1492 to Franz Fanon to the Zapatistas, we look at the âWest and the Rest' through the realities of colonialism and decolonisation; âaid and development'; under/overdevelopment; globalisation; IMF/World Bank/World Trade Organization hegemony; the rise of the non-governmental organisations and the anti-capitalist upsurges of the new millennium. An interpretation of popular culture both as an indicator of social change and as a location of meaning and significance. Undertaken by the analysis of the industries which organise it, the texts which realise it, and the audiences which recognise it. This course looks at the persistence of race, gender and class inequality in Australia and New Zealand, from white settlement to the âcelebrations' of 1988/1990 and onwards to the bicultural and multicultural settlements in the twenty-first century. Theories of ethnicity: ethnic socialisation and resocialisation, ethnocide and ethnogensis, ethnicity and the individual, ethnic social movements, ethnicity in local, national and international affairs. Introduction to the sociology of gender. Preliminary examination of the topics of concern to sociologists and the major theoretical perspectives - psychoanalytic, functionalist, Marxist, socialisation, feminist, antifeminist, biological. Critical analysis of key sites such as the family, reproduction, mothering, sexuality and violence against women, drawing on both international and local literature. Examines, in a comparative mode, how law as a set of social relations and categories can both create and remedy inequalities of gender, race, and class. What is crime? What causes crime? What are the best ways of dealing with crime? Why are specific actions labelled âcriminal'? Are some people more likely to be judged criminal than others? This course examines such questions by introducing and critically analysing selected theories of crime. Examines the social location of death in modern life. It includes topics on perceptions of death from sociological, philosophical, religious, historical, secular and medical approaches. It includes topics on death systems, medicalisation of death, death in popular culture, suicide and genocide. A critical examination of the conception of national identity.
