You read, discuss and review two opinionated books on this topic, written for an educated general readership. It is an elective in the Context Curriculum at RMIT, and follows the guidelines set out for all Context Curriculum subjects. This subject is offered every year, in first semester, in second semester, and in summer session. It may be taken in any year of a student's course. It carries four credit points.
Enrolment is open to students from all undergraduate courses.
Students who have already taken two subjects from the environmental group of Context Curriculum subjects are excluded. Note that this subject does not operate in the same way as lectures and tutorials. Each student is enrolled into a class group, usually between 15 and 30 students. The input of each student to the learning of the group is critically important. Each student is expected to prepare for, engage in and contribute to class activities.
