Information about fees and unit costs
This unit explores a number of contemporary social issues relating to social marginalisation and human disadvantage. It locates these issues in a theoretical and descriptive framework thus providing students with both knowledge and analytical skills that are necessary for the ongoing exploration of social issues. It explores the connection between forces at a macro level and human disadvantage and examines the value assumptions that sustain structural inequity. It encourages students to reflect on the implications of structural disadvantage for human service practice and the role of the human service worker as a participant in civil society. [SWB103 is incompatible with HHB103]
