LITCR1002 Expository Writing: Social Justice and Ethical Issues
This is an introductory writing course where students will explore writer identity and purpose by engaging with texts by authors who have seen writing as a form of activism to inspire social change. We will also reflect on the ways in which documentary film and photography represent social justice and ethical issues. We will draw upon these print and visual sources to discover and engage with issues that you care about and to stimulate your growth as a writer. Our approach in the course will be to strive for a sense of public scholarship by communicating ideas and views to a more general readership of citizens through dynamic, cogent and accessible expository prose.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
