See CRICOS-registered alternativesSocial scientists understand that both problems and solutions are unstable objects relating to power, perspective, authority, location, and values. Students will practise the skills required to define problems, conduct critique, and embrace critical and reflexive approaches to qualitative and quantitative information. The unit will consider the influence of perspective and standpoint when analysing, interpreting, designing, presenting, implementing, and critiquing social issues. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches to data analysis, students will explore techniques for drawing associations and analysing facts, ideas, and situations. Students will also learn techniques of presentation and improvisation, as they practise communicating a policy response, change proposal or through community advocacy. Opportunities are provided to respond to feedback on their findings and leverage the results into different narratives. Students will gain comfort with bias, ambiguity, and uncertainty in approaches to social issues. As a result, they will be more discerning users and makers of social research and more flexible as social science practitioners.
