Social enterprise is an important feature of regional resilience, and it plays an increasingly important role in the Australian and global economy. This course analyses social enterprise within the context of the sociological tradition and a commitment to social justice. It examines the sociological concept of civil society, the relationship between definitions of social enterprise and the values of social enterprise, and the impact of non-conventional and alternative ways to create change.

In this course, you will evaluate the relevance of social enterprise to community development, and prepare for collaborative community problem solving. It enables you to engage with practical questions of how to make social enterprise work. You will engage in activities that require you to develop your own ideas of citizenship and activism, in order for you to actively uphold the principles of social justice in the future. As well as examining theoretical and sociological issues, you will carry out your own case study of a social enterprise or related project.
