• an understanding of the theories which explain the role of social institutions;
• an ability to analyse the division of labour and work in modern societies;
• an understanding of the role of the family and kinship systems in modern societies;
• a sound basic knowledge of social stratification and its sub-fields - gender, class, race and ethnicity;
• an awareness of the role of the structure and sociology of organisations in modern societies;
• a sound grasp of the methods of sociological analysis, including qualitative and quantitative approaches, objectiv and subjective criteria, and the key debates concerning their application in the field.

This subject is broken up into three inter-related sections: section one examines the historical background to transformation in work and family life in the modern period, with particular emphasis on changes in class and gender relations. Section two introduces students to a range of research paradigms through which empirically oriented research in sociology may be carried out. It looks at these methods through the way they are applied to substantive research. Section three addresses contemporary issues in Australian social identity as Australia approaches the 21st Century. These issues include changes in work and employment, the migrant experience, and Aboriginality in the context of global interdependency. One book review of 1,000 words and two 1500 word essays.
