Understanding Aotearoa New Zealand
Please note: this is archived course information from 2017 for SOCIOL 101.
Description
Using a variety of visual and written texts, the course uses sociological concepts to take a critical look at Aotearoa New Zealand. We begin by exploring New Zealand’s colonial origins and development, before examining the role of ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality in producing social inequalities and social identities. We finish by investigating the role of these differences in a number of contemporary social issues.
