About this subject
This subject examines competing accounts of violence in the academic research, media, and everyday conversation, and how these impact on personal safety and social justice. It explores why media focuses on extreme cases of violence, and how this produces social panics around some problems while concealing other more serious issues. It shows how patterns of social media and everyday talk about violence cause people to worry about specific risks to their safety and not others, and why anxieties about violence often lead to demands for certain kinds of law enforcement or attempts to weaken human rights. The subject explores how accounts of violence in everyday life are based on underlying theories about people and society, revealing unrecognised assumptions that shape how we understand the world. It covers a range of themes including violence against children, sexual and intimate violence, masculinities and violence, police and violence, state violence, wars and genocide, and broad issues of social inequality and structural violence. This is a level 3 subject. Please consider the subject pre-requisites before enrolling. This subject includes live sessions with the expectation of student attendance and participation.
