If your school is accepted into the program, your students will be asked to nominate their top 3 preferred topics, which we will do our best to accommodate. Topics have been selected to connect with core Society and Culture themes as well as to topics on which the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies frequently receives requests.

This list of topics is not yet finalised, but the following is indicative:

Feminism in the 21st century Media: “Sexualisation” and “objectification”
Social conformity & nonconformity Gender and climate change
Identity Indigenous perspectives
Environmental activism Globalisation
Migration and migrant experiences Gender and sexual diversity
Masculinity Social inclusion and exclusion
Popular culture Australian nationhood
Body image Diversity

 

Research methods in Society and Culture: 3 x 15 minute mini lectures
  1. Intelligent use of sources: popular materials, grey literature & scholarly sources
  2. Getting the most out of interview subjects: how to ask good questions
  3. Intersectionality as a research approach
Individual consultations
These will need to be pre-booked and numbers will be capped. Students with booked one-on-one consultations will need to come with pre-prepared materials, such as an outline and a set of questions (details to be advised).
