Ageing and Disability Friendly Environments

(Dis)abling Societies: The Sociologies of Ageing and Disability

This course examines ageing and disability-friendly design, planning principles, and policy as they relate to the natural and built environments. You’ll learn to apply these planning and design principles to analysing the home, transport and mobility, the workplace, leisure and recreation facilities, and urban spaces. Crucially, you will develop an understanding of the impact of natural and built environments on people who are ageing or living with disablement. The skills and knowledge you develop throughout this course will greatly enhance your practice approaches to working with lived experiences of disability and ageing in a range of human service contexts. UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.  Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you. Access online academic and student support seven days a week, fit study around work and life commitments, view learning resources 24/7, and log in to the interactive online environment anywhere, any time and on any device. This is a second-year course from UniSA Online’s Psychological Science and Sociology degree. Please note: you are responsible for completing any relevant prerequisite courses before enrolling in this course.Should your course have an exam it will be scheduled for Australian Central Standard Time or Australian Central Daylight Time, depending on the time of the year.

Develop a critical understanding of disability and ageing as a sociological phenomenon. Examine key sociological theories of disability and ageing, and explore the relationships between society, its institutions, and the social constructions of disability and ageing. Explore the ways that disability and ageing intersect with diverse social (and identity) categories of gender and sexuality, ‘race’ and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The skills and knowledge you develop throughout this course will greatly enhance your practice approaches to working with lived experiences of disability and ageing in dynamic (and often challenging) professional and social contexts. UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.  Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you.
