Power, Difference and Recognition - SOC225
In liberal democratic societies we have become used to defending and celebrating the idea of our difference as individuals and as groups. What are some of the practical and conceptual difficulties currently faced by the right to difference? Is tolerance for a difference that is not understood but simply endured enough? How can we in the context of the profound differences that characterise our multicultural world, and elaborate the common ground through which our diversity can be recognised and our distinctive needs comprehended? We use these broad themes to look at a range of contemporary problems and issues. How, for example, do we interpret and respond to multiculturalism and Indigenous rights in contemporary Australia, gender difference and the assertion of cultural differences within a globalising world?
