About this Unit
This unit enables students to individually arrive at a meaningful synthesis of theoretical and practice elements of the course, and encourages a critical approach to the application of social theory to community and social development policy, practice and services, particularly in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities. Students will gain a good understanding of contemporary theories in social and community development and community leadership and sustainability and begin to use theoretical frameworks to critically analyse current policies and practice in the context of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
