POLIS 7115 - Decolonising Security

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2023

Dominant approaches to security studies are state-centric and West-centric. Realist, liberal, and conventional constructivist, feminist and human security approaches prioritise the state as the relevant political agent and draw on Western political theories that are derived from dominant forms of Enlightenment thought which are imperialistic, racist, and patriarchal. This course provides an opportunity for the comparative study of security-seeking as it is practiced by social movements around the world. After exploring critiques of security studies in their dominant conceptualisations, the course proceeds to investigate how global social movements have reconceptualised dominant political categories and mobilised them in political action to contest oppressive paradigms and structures. We will look comparatively at a range of struggles including those organised around religion, class, race, caste, indigeneity, gender, and sexuality to interrogate how they conceptualise the conditions of oppression, and reframe and operationalise a different set of categories, concepts and norms to contest, disrupt and resist.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition is available.
