At the same time, organisational communication has become more complex due to increasing levels of diversity in the workplace and an increasing reliance on emergent and rapidly changing communication technologies. Drawing on communication research models, theories and case studies, this unit provides students with insight into how to manage the complexities of contemporary organisational communication. The unit focuses primarily on internal organisational communication and examines communication processes at various levels: interpersonal (dyadic), group and organisation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<section id=\"cultural-studies\" class=\"acf-block bg-white\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"block-academics-courses__title\">Cultural Studies<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8 col-xl-7 offset-xl-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion\" data-limit=\"3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-accordion__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSex, Race and Rock in the USA\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(4 credits)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content DOM-slider-hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Course Code: USSC1604<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Instruction Language: English<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size\">This unit explores the cultural history of and intersections between sexuality, race and rock music in the United States from Elvis to Beyonce. Influenced by black and working-class cultures, and with sexuality embedded in its form and practice, rock music challenged and transformed existing norms of family, sex and gender. Through subjects including Black women, glam rock, and disco, we will learn that rock music, far from frivolous, provided a realm for rebellion, freedom, community and profit.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-accordion__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYouth and Youth Culture\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(4 credits)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content DOM-slider-hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Course Code: GCST2612<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Instruction Language: English<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size\">This unit examines academic, public and popular ideas about youth and practices of youth culture.

These concepts provide a framework for understanding the geographic variation of coasts, continental shelves and sediment accumulations in the deep ocean. Ocean-basin evolution is explained in terms of movements within the Earth&#8217;s interior and how these movements determine the geometry of ocean basins, and their alpine counterparts, which interact with the global circulation of the ocean and atmosphere. This interaction plays a key role in marine sedimentation and controls the environmental conditions responsible for the development of coral reefs and other ecosystems. The Unit of Study systematically outlines how these factors have played out to produce, by gradual change, the coasts we see today, as well as the less familiar deposits hidden beneath the sea and coastal lands. The Unit thereby outlines how knowledge of responses to climate change in the past allow us to predict environmental responses to accelerated climate change occurring now and in the future due to the industrial greenhouse effect, but places these responses into perspective against the geological record. Overall therefore, the Unit aims to provide familiarity with fundamental phenomena central to the study of marine geoscience and environmental impacts, introduced through process-oriented explanations. The Unit of Study is structured around GIS-based practical sessions and problem-based project work, for which lectures provide the theoretical background.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<section id=\"film-studies\" class=\"acf-block bg-white\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"block-academics-courses__title\">Film Studies<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8 col-xl-7 offset-xl-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion\" data-limit=\"3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-accordion__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAustralian Theatre, Film, and Learning\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(4 credits)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content DOM-slider-hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Course Code: EDUF3034<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Instruction Language: English<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size\">This unit of study examines the Australian identity through an exploration of Australian film, theatre, and television traditional formats and new digital content and delivery platforms. The unit focuses on young Australian playwrights, performers and filmmakers, and the range of learning that takes place through young people&#8217;s engagement in, and appreciation of, theatre, film, television and digital content. A variety of genre, formats and delivery are critically examined against the backdrop of Australian historical and sociological perspectives. Critical analysis is undertaken, not only through deconstructing Australian films and plays, but also through constructing digital content, using smart phone video application. Australian Theatre, Film and Learning goes behind the scenes, with intimate access to leading theatre and film industry experts as guest speakers, with opportunities to see Australian non-traditional and traditional performance and theatre first hand, through exciting field trips. In examining Australian plays, television and films as cultural artifacts, perceptions of Australian identity are challenged with a particular focus on the works of Australian Indigenous, multicultural and female creatives. Students enrolled in this unit will incur a levy to cover any additional costs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<section id=\"fitness-and-recreation\" class=\"acf-block bg-white\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"block-academics-courses__title\">Fitness and Recreation<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8 col-xl-7 offset-xl-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion\" data-limit=\"3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-accordion__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearning in Outdoor Education\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(4 credits)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content DOM-slider-hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Course Code: EDUH4052<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Instruction Language: English<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size\">Engagement with natural environments in Australia forms a significant part of growing up for many Australians whether in formal educational settings, organised leisure activities or through informal recreational experiences. It is also of interest for a growing number of overseas visitors wishing to experience Australia&#8217;s unique natural environments. Learning in Outdoor Education examines the nature and significance of the learning that takes place through these experiences. While the unit aims to build knowledge and develop understanding of specific areas of natural significance, its principal focus is the theory and practice surrounding Experiential Education. It does this by examining two different, yet interrelated, modes of learning in and about natural environments through lectures about these places and by experiences in these places. During the course of the unit students will come to know the places they visit through distinctly different learning experiences provided by two field trips.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<section id=\"gender-studies\" class=\"acf-block bg-white\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"block-academics-courses__title\">Gender Studies<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8 col-xl-7 offset-xl-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion\" data-limit=\"3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-accordion__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSex, Gender, Culture\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(4 credits)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content DOM-slider-hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-accordion__item-content-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Course Code: GCST1602<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size block-academics-courses__meta-item\">Instruction Language: English<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-body-2-font-size\">How does gender organise lives, bodies, sexualities and desires?

Special attention will also be given to the theoretical basis of how these stressors can lead to decrements to human health in the form of injury (e.g. frostibite, heat exhaustion) and illness (e.g. pulmonary\/cerebral oedema, actue mountain sickness, &#8216;the bends&#8217;).

Apart from being a great aid to clear thinking about any subject, knowledge of logic is essential for understanding many areas not only of contemporary philosophy, but also linguistics, mathematics and computing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"credit-transcripts\" class=\"acf-block block-content-section block-content-section--reduced-spacing content-wrapper bg-white\">\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-academic-credit-amp-transcripts\">Academic Credit &amp; Transcripts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-5\" class=\"block-buttons justify-content-center\">\n\t\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aifsabroad.com\/policies\/\" class=\"c-btn c-btn-tertiary\" target=\"_self\" title=\"View All Policies\" aria-label=\"Button View All Policies\"><span>View All Policies<\/span><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-12\" class=\"acf-block block-cards bg-white\">\t<div class=\"container block-cards__card-grid\" style=\"--cardsPerRow: 3\">\n\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"block-card\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"block-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-credit-transfer\">Credit Transfer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a part of the AIFS Abroad application for semester programs, you will complete a Course Approval Form, which will be signed off by your study abroad office staff and\/or faculty at your university.<br><br>For J Term\/Summer programs, no such approval form is needed; however, students are still responsible for ensuring credit can be brought back from their overseas program.<br>In any case, we recommend getting additional courses approved in case you need to change courses while abroad.<br><br>Overseas universities do not use the credit system employed by American institutions.
