how does it respond to a social justice issue such as health, justice, education or cultural maintenance?Show answer
Connecting what you observe to the four principles of social justice and to UNDRIP turns a description of an organisation into genuine analysis.
What is keeping the project log?Show answer
The local community case study is documented in the project log, which records the sequential development of the work, including the nature and timing of community-based fieldwork. Recording consultation, decisions, methods, sources and reflections as you go is part of the assessment and protects the integrity of the research. The log also evidences that protocols were followed and that the work was genuinely conducted, not reconstructed afterward.
What is connecting the case study to the course?Show answer
The case study does not stand alone; it connects to the cores and the global perspective. A study of a local health service illuminates Aboriginality and the Land and Heritage and Identity through the lens of one community, and it can inform the Comparative Study by providing a detailed Australian example to set against an international one. Drawing these connections, while respecting the specificity of the community, is what makes the case study a powerful piece of the whole course.
